Jupiter, Rising

I reached out, to touch the sun Gold and red Down it dipped, night came Instead The night sky brought forth its' stars Planets too darkening rush, the day slipped by I lifted high Followed the wind Followed the moon, in to the starlit sky This blue Earth... At night... Leaving a trail of stars The planets emerging light Martian red Venus, jewel bright What I came to see.. Jupiter.. Rising, in all its' majesty Mighty Jupiter Chemical storms , seething Swirling below How it burned, in a night sky The Jovian light returned The suns' radiance felt upon my face in deepest coldest space Yet I sense... Jupiter, rising
