Poem;HEAVENLY OBJECT

[markcollier8 (Mark)]

The Moon is a wonderful piece of celestial sculpture which at her most poised & purest position allows us to see how polished & bright her face glows for she has no speck of dust or pebble to trip upon the lunar scape for man has never trod her surface she wont be desecrated for all mans cunning.
Her contrasting features are steeped in fabled law of alluring & pure mystic aesthetics which are forever eternal. The darker planes that mark her visage are steeped in ancient fallows which mark her age. She has a radiance which nurtures & encompasses mature serenity a lonely matriarch of heavenly divinity!! Composed by M J Collier.

Yes Mark, quite nice indeed.
I think we have a tendency at times to separate the romanticism from astronomy, which is a damned shame, in my opinion.
They belong together, like fish 'n' chips, or salt and pepper.

The most beautiful thing that we can experience is the mysterious. It is the source of all true art and all science. He to whom this emotion is a stranger, who can no longer pause to wonder and stand rapt in awe, is as good as dead. His eyes are closed. - Albert Einstein.
