In the vast canvas of the night, they dance,
Silent guardians of the cosmic expanse,
Each a sphere of mystery, a tale untold,
In their orbits, secrets unfold.

Mercury whispers tales of ancient heat,
Swift and fleeting, its journey complete,
A molten heart beneath a scarred face,
In solitude, it races through space.

Venus, shrouded in her cloudy veil,
A goddess of love, yet her surface pale,
With fiery storms and sulfurous air,
Her beauty hides a world of despair.

Beyond, the red planet, Mars awaits,
Dust storms rage as the rover navigates,
Dreams of life in its barren embrace,
A frontier for the human race.
