A CONTEMPORARY VOICE2022

An ode to our Moon

A blaze aloft at night sent a glimmer of hope flying past the desolation It ignites around Moonshine, so we can all dazzle at the suspended blue marble It twinkles again across the void for a blistering comeback, and a tactful splash Let’s keep the path glowing for these engines of progress, so we can ferociously return To our cosmic companion, like never before.
