Luna's visage
scarred, pocked,
and blemished by time,
rises majestically into the astral plane
to traverse the ebony emptiness
of the night.
And like a sentry
posted high above the planet,
She monitors the comings and goings
of humanity,
an unenviable enterprise.
For Man is a pernicious invader
that pollutes the pristineness of space
with thousands of bits of irretrievable junk.
And yet, it seems nothing can dampen
Man's enthusiasm
for the conquest of space,
no matter the space debris
left orbiting the Earth in His wake.
