Look up!
When I walk
I stop to look to the sky
blue and decorated
with the lace of trees.
More intriguing is
a cloud white moon
riding high in the afternoon
shaded with dark moon craters
~ I greet this celestial body
with a smile, a nod and a click of my camera
and if shining silver when I turn out my light,
I’ll say ‘goodnight moon’.
with no science to prove
the steady, insistent pull
of the moon on earth
but I have felt and
seen those tides.
“It is a beautiful and delightful sight to behold the body of the moon.”
~ Galileo Galilei, astronomer
(1564 - 1642)
