We share a moon, a moon!
Look into the night sky,
Marvel, be astonished,
Go to bed, dream but don't
Forget --don't forget we
Are, when morning comes,
As one, one species, we are.
The moon reflects a star:
We share a star, a star!

Amazing isn't it...everything in the universe is made of the same stuff. WE are stardust.
ReplyDeleteThe main difference between a roaring star and human metabolism is the rate of combustion. All matter is related.
Deleteyes we do share the stare at the moon, the sun and the stars, friend Geo ... Love, cat.
ReplyDeleteYes! Good thing too --a reliable universe in which love is universal.
DeleteI'm a little surprised there isn't more infighting over who owns the moon and sun, Geo.!
ReplyDeleteI love the gentle reminder in your poem, and the peaceful cadence of the words. Whenever I am out at night I look at the moon and stars (if the clouds are not in the way) and think about all the people I know around the world - some only through blogging - who look at the same celestial bodies.
A beautiful thought you have there, Jenny. We all depend upon the same tremendous operations of the universe. I have dismissed the idea of any earthling owning the sun --who'd want to pay the gas bill?
DeleteOh how poignant...that thought...that you, I and everyone on this beautiful planet of ours shares this moon...all of us linked together...atoms of a beautiful whole.
ReplyDeleteSo good to be one small part of something so amazing!
Thank you, Geo...so much.:))
Dear Ygraine, I recently read of a question that had not occurred to me: When we move around, do we really move the atoms that compose our bodies, or just the information about what atoms we require in any given location? A strange question, I know, but suspect it will further our definition of both physics and life.
DeleteOne glance into the night skies is often all that's needed to bring a person back down to earth.
ReplyDeleteCaptivating and beautiful.
Thank you.
Thank YOU, Robyn. We learn so much here on this world, I feel like church music should give way to Elgar's "Pomp and Circumstance".
ReplyDeleteBlessings.....
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year.....
we also share the sun, Sunrise and Sunset
True Rhapsody Phoenix, and welcome to my blog! Thank you for reading my poem.
DeleteVery well done, Geo! It's so awesome to finally discover your poetry. I've always been a night person, so this poem grabbed my attention big time. Now I can't wait to read your poem about Emily: How do I go about finding it?
ReplyDeleteDear Dylan, I have a post about Emily on my other blog, Trainride of The Enigmas --http://trainrideoftheenigmas.blogspot.com/2017/04/miss-dickinsen-and-paper-chase.html-- from April of last year. Should be accessible thru my profile page at right margin, or copy/paste url above.
