Poem: The dawn of your light

Share

Like the dawn of the blaze
of a lander over the grays
touches your light
and spans the open lunar sky

A descent energetic yet graceful
methodical and careful
Spawned from the blue marble verse
you bring the best in us.

Poem notes: Iโ€™ve had the privilege and pleasure of working with amazing editors, bosses, and managers over my space writing career across organizations and media publications worldwide. I wrote this poem recently to appreciate someone Iโ€™ve worked with and learnt from last year. Though the gratitude in my verses is also meant for others who have shaped me and my words. :)
