Saturn Dance and Basaltic Magma

****************
Skating upon Saturn rings, we dance in the empyrean,
while orbiting moonlets traverse
ancient trails of ice and stone.
This is a cosmic ballet,
asymptotically spiraling toward an unseen end.
Lightning scars Enceladus,
torn by geysers shooting skyward,
as gravity grip tightens,
drawing the rings into a molten embrace.
Comet tails weave through methane clouds,
soot hardening into graphite diamonds.
A celestial tapestry unfolds marked by
churning seawater and tectonic upheaval.
Planetesimals gather momentum,
accreting into juvenile worlds.
Retrograde orbits twist
in the inferno of solar proximity.
Geological pulses echo in basaltic magma rising raw,
while subducted layers cool into
igneous strength beneath volcanic skies.
Buoyant forces lift orogenic belts toward the stars.
Skating upon Saturn rings,
a voyage into the cerulean sky,
a celestial odyssey through frozen arcs of time,
where 292 million years are absorbed
in the molten core of adventure.
A wandering moonlet dances on this cosmic stage.
In supernova chaos,
protostar dreams birthed our path.
as nebulae whisper,
cradling us in a mosaic of chondrules.
Particles are accrete moments like planetesimals,
spinning with angular momentum.
Solar proximity pulls us closer
to the churning seawater mantle,
while tectonic tales of juvenile basaltic magma
rise and fall beneath our feet.
Retrograde rhythms metamorphose
beneath subducted layers.
as cooling igneous histories forged
in plutonic depths await discovery.
Extrusive volcanic buoyancy
lifts orogenic belts to new heights,
and metasomatic transformations
paint epigenetic canvases.
Silicification processes churn
chaotic thoughts as we glide,
while uralitization echoes
through chloridized memories,
periodized remnants of Fulvio’s force.
Aeolian winds lithify biogenically precipitated dreams
into stratified sedimentary tapestries.
Wedge and knead tessellating mudrocks
into hummock-sculpted flacks of history.
Photons radiate through the cerulean sky uveal layer;
stroma iridesce in unison,
the vestige of a sphincter remains
an embryonic echo of Titan zenith, Tractatus Sinnos.
Unspinning Symplegades plunge,
as Neptune mushroom clouds dwell
in the Aegean crescendo cliffs and the hadal depths.
Silver billows from a noctilucent pond,
with the Rumeli lighthouse standing as Eros agape,
while Hymenaeus embrace Gaea, drowning in pathos.
Anteros ignites, illuminating sinuous shadows.
