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).
