Rise of the Eloquent Ecliptic
Eloquent design turned sideways fast
On dark matters rise to the cosmic dawn lost
Leads to a plane point invisible along its orbit
A path shattered by a blast from futures light
Coplanar lines remain the same
With weight, particles escape, into oblivion beyond all doubt
Bubbled up from foreign origins, they explode into the calm
The ones left over from other universes emerge on altered states
Lift the ecliptic declining into nothing as circles die
Beyond that, by definition, light carries on with beams delightful
Changing properties by quark conversion
Along the vast divide celestial spheres appear
The basis for the ecliptic coordinated system
Planets move with indifference about the void
On other worlds time goes by then slides into the darkness
Not to be surprised at finding clues under the silent moon
Just setting with the cryptic sun below the downed horizon
