The Southern Cross
Fiji screenshot
Traveled Down Under
My personal mission
under the panorama of the
clear Fiji night sky was
to find the
Southern Cross among the stars.
It's never seen in the north,
where I live.
**
Sitting up on deck in
the middle of the sea
under a vast starscape,
so many constellations
above us could we see,
the Milky Way,
Orion with his belt of three stars,
The Dog Star
Taurus,
Cassiopeia
**
Suddenly,
There, there!
The Southern Cross
appeared on the screen.
Unable to find it
with my eyes,
among so many clusters,
and never having
viewed it...
Yet, technology
assisted my quest.
The phone app
outlined it and
I screenshot it.
