planetarium
once again i stand by the sea
watching the skyshow unfold
a glorious intermixture of
the stuff of life
clouds and stars and planets
all lit by the argent moon
no astronomer
i cannot tell most planets from the stars
but know even if i could
it being summer there are two i cannot see
uranus and neptune sequestered
until the cold dark nights of autumn
own the heavens
but somewhere up there
unidentifiable except for the evening star
shine the messenger swift and sure
the god of war drenched in blood
the majestic king of the sky
and the ancient timekeeper
then i recall
far off
always invisible
pluto
disgraced
cast out of the celestial pantheon
by the cold heart of science
demoted with his many moons
to dwarf
composed of ice and rock
the ruler of the underworld
wanders an erratic course
and in the sphere of calculation
is barely predictable
an outlander in the solar system
and as think on this
i realize i am pluto
not exactly cast out
but surely disregarded
i too am an outlander
almost invisible
cold and hard
eccentric
barely predictable
spinning in a far-off chaotic orbit
around the sun of life

Although I have titled and written this as if it is the sea, this is actually a view of
Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore located on Lake Superior in Grand Marais, Michigan. Painted in digital oils from a photograph by my wonderful nephew, Brian Coppola, July 2016.

What a masterfully created, deeply resonant and beautiful work of art! Love the mood. fv

Striking composition and palette. The bright semi moon against the dark hues really works here. Your words are as striking as this piece...
