Can you tell me
the origin of the moon?
Particles of the universe
colliding when
Time lifted his heavy hand
and blotted out the sun.
Silly moon
to stand between
the sentencing of corona ions
stilling shadows of the earth
wringing hands of space debris
Bring me your light years
sing to me the moon’s phases
tell me when
seafloor magma
meets the iron oxide of Mars
and a new solar wind
sears over craters.
The flash of a million years
the origin of the universe
mapped between starbursts
and a mystical sun rising.
Sounds romantic.
Thanks, Marissa.
Silly moon! I like that line and what follows…. I like this whole thing. I imagine you have been moon gazing at this wonderful full moon with a shot or two of tequila for company and ruminating and pondering – the sky is full of wonderful things!
The sky is an extraordinary gift for sure :D. I like your imagination, Pauline. This poem really came from jr. high science class where I showed a video the other day….after a day in junior high, though, one may need a couple shots of tequila, ha ha!
Perfection LT, I love the whimsical romantic tone of this. <3
Thank you, Holly!
I love how science opens doors to the mystical. Wonderful poem, Lana, that did just that. π
Thank you so much, Diana π

I’ve long been fascinated by the moon. The past few nights, it’s looked almost close enough to touch! Beautiful piece of poetry here, Lana!
Thank you so much, Debbie. The moon is surely an extraordinary gift. I love sitting outside and gazing upward, contemplating the possibilities.
Lovely imagery. An enchanting poem, Lana. π
Thank you, Iris. I hope you are having a lovely weekend
Yes, I’m enjoying a lovely Easter break. π Happy Easter and it’s a pleasure! π
Your choice of the moon, stars, sky and its elements of the magical, mystical wonders was beautiful. Silly moon! Humor is always nice to be included. π
Thank you, Robin π
