The Moon

The Moon

Suspended luminescent
crescent moon,
how many dreams
have drifted in your wake.
you gaze so impassively,
so steadily at this world embroiled
in turmoil and trouble.
shooting stars decorate you
like diamonds draped

around a beautiful woman’s neck.

I am attending the NASA Lunar Science Institute conference. I am struck by how beautiful and mysterious the moon is.
