In the vast expanse of cosmic night,
Planets dance in elegant flight,
Spiraling through the velvet skies,
Their secrets hidden from earthly eyes.

Mercury whispers to the morning sun,
A fleeting shadow, swiftly spun,
Its surface scorched, a barren land,
Yet in its silence, mysteries stand.

Venus, the jewel of evening glow,
Veiled in clouds, a fiery show,
Beneath her shroud of toxic air,
A world of beauty, fierce and rare.

Mars, the red wanderer, distant and cold,
Stories of ancient life untold,
Rivers of time etched in its face,
A testament to a forgotten place.
