Saturn

Saturn 

In astrology 
celestial rings 
circle a sphere 
that is destined to drift 
in a vast and limitless space. 

The stars shine 
moments that take years
centuries 
to reach us. 

Some believe 
it is here 
in the nothingness of space
that our destines are held and planned. 

Horoscopes and cycles 
match up with our everyday 
fueling a belief 
on the who 
and hows of what we are. 

Is there a merit 
behind these fantastic notions? 
That objects that are high and unseen by 
our naked eye 
look down on us 
nudge us
shape us 
to represent what they truly believe is right 
to wander in their heavenly homes? 

A full moon can cause one to be riddled with 
anxiety. 
The stars can shine brightly in the distance and 
inspire. 
The sun radiates its fiery and central lights to 
illuminate. 
The night with its darkness and mystery can 
hide. 

Do the interstellar lines 
serve us as guidelines 
for the independent soul
or they more like the strings 
for a pantheon of planets and stars 
to play with? 

In this belief 
of lines crossing 
that we bring
mind over the natural laws 
to lead us 
to our predicted beliefs.
