MOONSHOT AND BEYOND

I envy those who have been to the moon;

The chosen few who have touched her soil,

And viewed first-hand the earth in its glory,

Set on a canvas of dark lonely space.

 

One might imagine the exhilaration,

The rush of adrenaline speeding the heart

Until breathing shortens or stops altogether,

And the awe of its grandeur reflects on your face.

 

The pause is but a moment or two

And the task of survival quickly returns.

But the realization of how tiny we are

Gives new meaning to our humdrum lives.

 

This platform is a portal to a galaxy beyond

Where every possibility resides...

Where man is but a player whose part is yet unknown...

Where mystery exists and hope survives.
