Trigon

Dangling from a horizon in amber hues, Venus illuminates the southern sky, Veiled in mottled shades of steely blue. In the west, the moon looks out, from the corner of her eye, A symphonic moment, when the sun arises and bestrides. Title reference: A Trigon is an ancient Greek stringed instrument in a triangular shape.

Like what Pythagoras, the great Greek philosopher-scientist said; "MUSIC OF THE SPHERES". Musical tones vibrated by the planets and the sun that aren't audible but could be heard by the soul. Captivating!!...ab
