The Sea of Tranquility

As long as we have roamed
Its always been there
No water
But you'll see it i fear
 
The intrepid ape
Who swings through the tree's
As he looks up
Not knowing what he see's
 
A glowing sphere
As seasons allow
Starry night
Obscured by clouds
 
Do the days ebb
Or the nights flow
Cranial knowledge
So?
 
Hey!
It's me the clever Ape
I arched my back
Looked to the Sky
This glowing Orb
I'll tell you why
 
The Queen of tides
Shores graced
Shingle grinded
Sands placed
 
Her Bosom of light
On Earth she shines
Neanderthal
Every things fine
 
We stand tall now
And we know much more
Do our Scientists
Go over the score
 
Space Stations
Will neighbour her
Our Intelligence
To her will slur
 
We have been here
For so few years
What will we do to her
I fear!!

And that is the million dollar question, will we wise up, or will nature stake her claim and take it all back? Great poem James! ~Trudy~
