Memento On The Moon

     Phases of Moon on inscription 
     round the Earth on revolution 
     will be marvelous memento .
     Just a simple manifesto.
     Moon is our nearest neighbour.
     Closest companion of ours.
     
     It awakes inquisitiveness 
      about Universal vastness.
     extending curiosity 
      to seek human identity . 
      Search for Cosmic explantion 
      since start of civilization.

      Attraction of Moon from the Earth
      continues from humans' birth.
      Event of human Moon landing !
     The Great Grand Success : Outstanding.
     Memento to leave, we deserve -
     ' Phases of Moon' - as Earth observes.

An interesting perspective as one could not see the phases of the moon when on the moon (as witnessed from Earth). 'Search for Cosmic expansion' (not ‘explantion’?) underlines our desire to understand and inquire – sometimes at a price – a circumlocution of enquiry. Thank you for your support, Anisha
