The Planets

Michael Newberry 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
