How High Is The Sky? Poem by Theresa Ann Moore

From our marble planet the earth
We gaze to our visual limitations
Wondering what lies beyond
Peaks of unexplored destinations

Many miles distance us from the moon
Our nearest neighbor…a pearl balloon
You would think it was a close friend
As we look up to…the man in the moon

We could ask and see if he would reveal
The many secret clues held by the stars
The orbits contained within a small mind
Ask… is this magnificent sky truly ours?
