Would You Take Us, Moon?

A letter to the moon

By Judah LoVatoPublished 2 months ago 1 min read
Watching the Moon

If we sought you, would you take us?

Of would you rather we stay

Earthbound and distant

To admire your beauty

From afar

Surely we could thrive though

Weightless and flying

On your rocky surface

Dwelling in our Moon-built houses...

We surely will have learned by then

If we left to live with you

How to live among ourselves

Human to human

On earth

For surely it will take our unity

To achieve a lunar city

Or the realization

That you’re already taken

By Lunarians...

If we found you had given birth

to a Lunar People,

Would we then see each other as fellow Earthlings?

A common species: Homo sapiens

Evolved from the same mush

Or a common creature formed from Earth

In the image of God?

Or will we simply perish in pursuit of you

Convinced that the bodies formed

For the temperate zones

Deserve you more than those designed

For jungles?

About the Creator

Judah LoVato

My collection of sometimes decent writing

Which I've left "there" for seekers to seek

Though I lack the grandeur of that Pirate King

Perhaps these pebbles can be a light

In this life, this laughing tale
