In Awe
Triton, bigger than the Moon,
moves retrograde around Neptune
like Venus spinning slowly back
with atmospheric lightnings' crack
as IO plunges deep within
Jove's EM crackling's spheric spin
with Titan lurking just beyond
Saturn's ringing fading song,
a star now captured by the Sun
where Earth and Mars once belonged
until it entered Sol's domain
where Birkeland currents then were drained,
like Jupiter, Uranus too
emitting more than it should do
now sorted out electrically
into our cosmic family...
day by day and night by night
empty space is filled with light
ultraviolet, infrared
when awake or when in bed
atoms move, electrons spin
around around while we are in
awe of all that we can do
in awe of being me and you

Author's Note
based loosely on the theory that Earth and Mars were once orbiting Saturn, which was a brown dwarf star captured by the Sun thereby disconnecting the interstellrt Birkeland current by which it, and all stars, are powered...best listened to with headphones
