Postcard from the Moon Postcard

Art: Bonnie Wu (itsbonnayxx.tumblr.com) Poem: Erin Hanson (thepoeticunderground.com) Poem reads: I am sending you this postcard, From the dark side of the moon, So you know I got here safely, And that I will be home soon, For today I held our planet, Between the fingers on my hand, And learnt there's more stars out here, Than our earth has grains of sand, So now the life I ran from, Doesn't seem like such a wreck, When the town that I grew up in, Isn't more than just a speck, And although my life feels tiny, As I look back at our home, I've realised we're the only ones, Who don't live it alone, That sometimes even shooting stars, Send pieces down to earth, When their solitary beauty, Starts to cost more than it's worth, I am sending you this postcard, From the silence of the skies, To remind you that there's beauty, In our microscopic size, So I hope next time you feel alone, The moon shows you you're not, And how lucky we all are to find, Our home on this blue dot.
