Dark Planet

Dark Planet Black metallic giant planet runs out there in outer space Out of control, no gravity, no sun, no stars we’re told Reaching, racing undetected, splits the distance, slips away Out in the mystery systems held by void Destinations have no shape or form for dark planet meanderings In endless night, deepest riches where dark matter hides Stranger to light, other unseen forms of life take flight When explorers found it with their silver space ship Came upon it by pure chance to land so gently grounded Met by smooth ores and rocks of charcoal grays and blacks Except for a fine thin line of artificial light produced From a hand held device they used to walk about The giant world would have sunk back into the frozen void Undetected forever in the dark with all its truths Closed its womb on the explorers Blending in to the raw nothingness deduced Alien worlds hide their beauty Move unnoticed as they should Leave exploring to the children of the universe
