Mare Imbrium
Arman Hoque 1977 (Winnipeg)
Mare Imbrium
On lunar surface, Mare Imbrium twirled
In the glow reflected off our own world.
A Sea of Showers from Latin as its name
or a Sea of Rains, Almost but not quite the same.
A Sea of Tears, for those that lament the moon;
It’s cast its glow on our world since life commenced through binary tide, ye heavenly lune.
A crater on her face, Mare Imbrium shines brighter yet attracts rare mention or attention.
It’s a site of human development in the future of our exploration.
Source of our binary pattern, we emerged life with the tide;
As the moon pulled Earth’s ocean to her gravitational side.
Life emerged with the passing of seasons;
A cataclysm of coincidence, for indefinite reasons.
We owe life to our moon, shining at us at night.
Mare Imbrium is the moon’s first sea;
A potential remanding site.
