heliocentric

Stars splatter the night canvas, 

imagination creates the shapes

among the random jewels. 

Sun an eternal source of light,

promising warmth like a mother,

always there - every morning.  

Moon taming the wild beast, 

controlling the vast waters,

a beacon of hope, 

promising to ward off the evil of the dark, 

Earth a fountain of unprecedented beauty, 

a haven of life,

used and abused - a child's favourite toy, 

in desperate need of care and affection.
