Moon Walk
by Wayne Thomas (Age: 58)
copyright 07-10-2007


Age Rating: 10 to 127

 
I stalk our silver satellite
from worn-down molars
to gaping mouths,
a world rich with mystery,
silent since time beyond memory.
My booted feet trudge through
the coarse grit
that rises and falls,
rises and falls,
no dust clouds here,
as I step lightly along
in the low gravity.
I stop a moment,
gaze up at the great black sky
dusted with galaxies, nebulas
and stars,
red, yellow, blue, white,
giants, super giants and dwarfs,
and the Milky Way
like I never saw it Down There,
and all strewn along the carpet of space
by a grander God than
I can ever imagine.
I glance over my shoulder at
a gigantic sphere of blue and white,
casting black shadows in front of me.
At last, my samples gathered,
I arrive at the cavern/colony,
load chips of volcanic glass,
lunar pumice, and several unknowns,
onto the small rocket,
and watch it lift off
and roar silently for home.

I like this. Reminiscent of the first days of space exploration, and then beyond. To what no one knew and even today is only an uncomfortable feeling of needing to "get back to the stars." Nice descriptions and good development. Seems I read an influence by some of sct-fi's best. It's a good write, Walt.
