TWO DREAMY TREES
Astro-photo-poem (cosmopoem) by Andrei Dorian Gheorghe
Two trees lived outside my window.
Each of them dreamed of becoming
the Cosmic Tree.
Both of them rejected the Moon
because she is a simple intermediary
who collects and reflects sunlight.
On June 30, 2020,
the tree on the left even
clothed with the sunlight.
I wonder if he knew that the Sun
is only a G-type main-sequence star.
On July 1, 2020,
the tree on the right saw Alpha Scorpii
(escaping from the Moon’s rays)
and fell in love with her.
I wonder if he knew that the star Antares
is just a scorching red supergiant.
