Lunar Lament

A piece of the moon, so far from home
On display for all to see, but all alone
Cratered surface, a story to tell
Of cosmic journeys and impact's spell

Lunar rock, a silent scream
Torn from the surface of a distant dream
A reminder of the void above
And the mysteries that we've yet to solve

Sixty thousand and fifteen point one
A number assigned, its identity done
No longer soaring through the starry night
Now bound to Earth, a captive of our sight

We reach for the stars, we grasp at the unknown
But the secrets of space remain on their throne
This lunar fragment, a humble sign
Of the vast expanse that we've yet to define

Lunar rock, a silent scream
A piece of the puzzle, a celestial dream
May we one day unravel the tales you hold
And find our place in the cosmic fold
