Love’s Lunge at Long Last
The moon in near remoteness, when compared
With sun, and stars, and planets, makes its slow
Fast way above us after being snared
By gravity like weighty love below
It, heft of earth’s devotion countless years
Ago, four billion years ago and more.
Immense desire persists between our spheres
Because of passion. From earth’s molten core
Unending silent love maintains the strength
Of unseen tethering from the lover to
That nearest loved one past that little length
That even astronauts can travel through.
..Such nearness is not far when love can reach
….That tiny distance from Canaveral’s beach.
