How Could One Explain... Poem by Reita Stephens

How far is the moon?
Its just outside the door
How long is the night?
The same as the one before

Why is the earth a magnet,
And no one knows quite why?
How can the eagle soar,
Yet never learn to fly?

How can the lines sum up
The face of Earth’s rotation,
Displaying isogonic lines,
Yet have a variant declination?

Why does the concave mirror
Incept the candle’s radiation?
It’s because the small is significant,
It’s because of concentration

How could one explain,
How low the chariots go,
Or how many times they swing us,
Until Jordan calls us home
