Poems from Space: Moon Dance

with ordered motion

the earth and her moon traverse

in a graceful dance

(My thanks to Tim Lennox, who posted the photo on his blog, where he explained, “A new NASA photo, taken from some three million miles away by the OSIRIS-Rex craft....shows the earth and its Moon in one frame, making it easier to understand how far apart they are. NASA says 30 earths would fit in between the two places in space.”)
