Amidst the cosmic veil so vast and deep,
The planets dance in silence, secrets keep.
Their orbits trace in shadows’ ancient sweep,
A story told in whispers as they leap.

Mercury, the swift, in Sun’s embrace,
A messenger in endless, hurried race.
With silken glint, it charts a fervent pace,
In twilight hours, it leaves a fleeting trace.

Through Venus’s clouds, a love concealed,
Beneath the shroud, a fiery heart revealed.
Her beauty masked, yet passion unsealed,
In morning’s glow, her secrets are repealed.

And Mars, the warrior, red of hue,
A testament to battles old and new.
With scars of time, its surface to review,
The tales of strife in crimson are imbued.
