Heavenly Reaches

a metal arm takes samples
from a recent part of the surface
on the face of the moon
as scientists at control panels watch

for a more recent part of the surface
an explorer is launched
as scientists at control panels watch
a human endeavor unfolds

an explorer is launched
the yearnings of mortal dreams
a human endeavor unfolds
in front of eager eyes

the yearnings of mortal dreams
a heartbeat of longing souls
in front of eager eyes
the celestial drama

December 6,2020

a heartbeat of longing souls
the subliminal urge played out
the celestial drama
a metal arm takes samples
