Universal Palette

Oh the bodies,
that dance, 
throughout time 
in orbit; 
on a universal palette,
of color.

The colors 
of heavenly bodies, 
on the solar system’s palette, 
in a universal “Crayola” dance; 
coloring their orbit 
and forgetting about time.

I worry about time; 
it too, has many colors.
Parallel time, in orbit, 
has colorful bodies, 
that dance 
across time’s palette.

The artist’s palette, 
with time, 
can cause souls to dance; 
with bright colors 
of emotion; swinging, swaying, emotional bodies; 
like planets, in orbit.

I chew a piece of, “Orbit” 
and consider the stellar palette.
Its heavenly bodies 
and their spin through time.
Oh, how those colors 
celebrate with their dance.

Round and round they dance, 
a box of one-hundred, “Crayola” colors,
on a universal palette.
I want to dance throughout time,
And in orbit, 
with those heavenly bodies.
 
Celestial bodies in an unending dance; bursting with color.
They are always in orbit; performing throughout time,.
“Crayola” colors can’t match, the universal palette.
