The Lunar Mission Gallery
A poem and an artwork of our close and present orbit
The Arc of Moon
A richly textured tactile terrain of two celestial bodies caught in the darkness of space.
Although the moon is far from reach its eliptical orbit gifts the earth its ever changing influence.
Our Night Draws Near
I know so little of your land,
Your mountains high,
Your valleys deep,
Your arc of light across my sky,
Your gentle pull of soil beneath my feet.
This journey of our sky and star,
We swirl in dizzy hour on hour,
Each day,
A month,
And soon a year,
Our seasoned life,
Our night draws near.
