Moonbound

Thanks Sadje for hosting what do you see!

For the visually challenged reader, this image shows a shot of a full moon and in front of the moon, you can see a plane traveling!

Above the clouds, where silence flows,
A silver plane through darkness goes,
Its wings outstretched in hush of flight,
A ghost that glides the edge of night.

Beneath, the earth a slumbered sprawl,
With blinking towns so faint, so small,
While stars like watchful lanterns gleam
And skies dissolve into a dream.

The full moon rides in sovereign grace,
A lantern hung in boundless space,
Its argent gaze both calm and wide,
A sentinel on this midnight ride.

Inside, the murmured engines purr,
A lullaby for those who stir—
The dreamers cradled, row by row,
Suspended in the dark’s soft glow.

No map can chart this hush, this height,
Where metal dances with the night,
And moonlight draws a silver line
Through time and thought and sky and spine.

So onward moves the winged machine,
Past veils of cloud and stars unseen,
A fleeting spark, serene, alone—
A whisper bound for worlds unknown.
