Evening falls over the village,
Opening the vault serene,
Of a starry sky.
When an oxen cart
Turns slowly
On the stone road
What is spread before
For a home return

A long and exhausting day
Tired the beasts,
Hardly advancing
On the cold darkness of night
Blowing foamy steam
Accumulated on noses
From the heat of the day.

Their master remained silent,
Dare not to ask more,
Just urge them to litter
With voice warm them before,
Less and come! Ready!
We arrived in the village!
We can see the lights!
Come dear, one more hill and done.

Cart loaded with wood,
Moves led by wind,
Just a thought and free will
Approached them to the ground.

While oxes are going,
For a last resort
The long cart ladder broke the sky
Divide it as a cake,
In some great oaks,
Left roadside,
For reflection sake

You are more than welcome, Tibi.  Love the picture, incidentally.  As it so happens, at the present time I have a wonderful view of The Plough (Big Dipper) every night from my bedroom window, and also the planet Jupiter in the eastern sky is really bright thoughout this month of February.

Have a pleasant day.

Thanks Tina! Oh, that's so nice! I am in love with astrophotography(even this one it's a generic one), so I usually spend a lot of time in the middle of night watching the sky, take my shoots and meditating. It's the best place to be. So, I understand you very well.

My husband's the night sky photographer in this house.  He has some amazing moon shots taken with a telephoto lens.  

As to your sky-watching, maybe I shan't feel so alone now when I'm stargazing in the small hours, because there's a good chance you will be too.  smiley  And as you say, meditation is almost a natural progression.

Oh, nice! I am glad to hear that there are still people who enjoyed this kind of activity, for me, sometimes, it's hard to find company when I am getting out for gazing :)

Yes, that's a great posibility that i will be too. Who said the world isn't interconnected? smiley
