Artemis 11

Kevin Hulme

Artemis did look and beheld the blue Swan,

A Spectacle of Beauty by Creation born.

The exemplar of Peace and a Calming sight,

Gliding through the Heavens of the Blackest Night.

But we down below can't see it's fine Grace- 

Only the Legs at a maddening pace.

            Nice. I was on the Apollo-Artemis space program mode so had to shift in the mind. Excellent read, Kevin🕊️🙏

              Kevin, this lands with a quiet beauty…there’s something really calming about how you frame it, almost like watching stillness from a distance. Then that turn at the end hits…sharp and human. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦‍⬛
