Beneath the velvet sky so vast,
The planets waltz in silence deep,
Each one a story from the past,
In cosmic realms where secrets sleep.

Mercury darts with speed and grace,
A messenger in morning light,
While Venus shines with tranquil face,
A beacon in the twilight night.

Mars, the warrior, bold and red,
With tales of battles long ago,
And Jupiter, with storms widespread,
A giant in the starry show.

Saturn’s rings, a gilded crown,
Encircle dreams of ancient lore,
And Neptune’s depths, in blue profound,
Hold mysteries forevermore.
