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
