The Unknown

We lay bare next to the skin of the earth watching mercury dancing around the restless sun playing hide and seek in the burning heat and penetrating mankind deception in the deep Venus is orbiting the earth with its piercing light casting shadows on the desperate arrows and choking up the heavens I don't know where they have laid him but I can feel his current rumbling through the earth ripping the stagnant river apart and looking at the moon in the dark I am sitting here waiting on the unknown Heart throbbing billows rolling and the deep blue sky is covering my head The green trees are still standing tall waiting for the anticipated fall Saturn in riding on wings in big circles it is the rock on which we stand And it stabilizes the turbulent land looking for the one who is able to withstand its fiery hands Jupiter has been murmuring for years it has a storm that is bigger than our fears twisting cold windy clouds over our busy head erupting the emotions and stretching our legs Neptune is invisible to the naked eyes but its water and methane is fasten on solid ice Uranus is filled with chemical composition The confusion on earth is position on suspicion Is this imagination or mere confusion Mars has been snooping on us from the sky Twice this week it emerges in plain sight with its bright orange eye budging from the sky I have mistaken it for the amber moon But nature has declared a war to soon Bees buzzing from the sky dropping honey in the kettle Mankind queuing up in long lines waiting for a city that is divine The mystery of life is yet to be found It is buried somewhere beneath the blistering ground Something is out there in the unknown Waiting for the perfect time to make itself known Earth with its formidable crust has finally open it guts exposing its intricacy and laughing at us loudly something more powerful than man lives in deep ocean swirling and twirling like monster ready to devour Oh how much I dread this conceited revelation It is shaking the core of the hemisphere causing death and destruction over the years Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune are bidding earth goodbye as they regroup in the sky Life mystery is profound and it is found in the unknown.
