Galileo had his turn.
But with much still left to learn
the brown dwarf sat-----waiting.
Then came hubble to the frey.
Seeking in a finite way
the brown dwarf teasing.
Nibiru, if confirmed,
a new planet we have turned
from mystery to being.

A planet larger than Pluto has been discovered
in the outlying regions of the solar system.
The planet was discovered using the Samuel
Oschin Telescope at Palomar Observatory near
San Diego, Calif. The discovery was announced
today by planetary scientist Dr. Mike Brown of
the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena,
Calif., whose research is partly funded by NASA.
Reflections of an ancient time
Unfold the visions in my mind.
Fruits of earth, fragrant, sublime.
Beseeched creatures “Come find.”
Lush and green was every scene.
Then, dinosaurs reigned supreme.
Now, man looks and only dreams.
As portraits of the past are seen…
Tomorrow grows, as does each day.
Fresh fruit shall find its future stay.
Manifestations of early time,
God teaching reason and rhyme.
