Creating the Planets

The Planets
Space Series Poetry #8

Invoking power drawn from beyond

Those darkest realms release their bond

Pure energy focused, here assumes

A spherical form, born not of womb

Each roiling, rolling ball of heat

Obeys the gods, will not compete

With greater deities than they

When mighty Cronos, time can sway

With lazer vision, instinct honed

This creator does not atone

A brooding focus, awe unwrapped

As swirling matter is entrapped

Bring forth the planets, let them fly!

Across the great, star-studded sky!

The mighty sun calls to each sphere

As elliptical orbits trace each year
