Luna Gardens

 

Earth floated over Luna Gardens 

like a blue marble on black velvet.  

The artificially augmented sunlight 

filled every corner of this verdant space

surrounded by the bluish-green glow 

of hermetically sealed glass and steel.

But the rocks were real and the plants

had crossed space as sleeping seeds

only to awaken & grow in their new home 

to gift oxygen to their fellow travelers.

It was a home away from home where 

symbiosis sustained life in cooperation

(not competition which had become 

the bane of those unfortunate earthlings).
