Poem: On the edge
Craft launched from Luna, no tether
can go farther, faster
while being lighter
Exploring more worlds
with joy and curiosity
hosting ideas, deploying empathy
and even skepticism for humanity
From the edge of a gravitational well
they can push the discourse
and shape its course
All of these futures can bloom
with the fervor and fragrance of you.

Poem notes: I love writing poetry where words allude to technical space themes. It’s challenging and fun to distill the complex thoughts and concepts into words that flow while making sense in layers. Just like my poem The dawn of your light, this one was written to appreciate the qualities of someone I’ve had the pleasure of working with. The gratitude extends to others in my circles sharing those qualities. :)
