Mid-Autumn Festivities

19th September '05

A lonely planet rotated...
revoluted and rotated
...round and round
in the ellipse of the elliptical orbit....

Which galaxy?, which solar system?....
not even the star it went around did it know...
...it just spun in the cosmic
...the motion, just a motion....

No asteroids came its way..
not even meteroids...
if they did....
it gently smiled them away..
with grace just stepped aside...
and next with a sombre turn,
in motion again...............

It had a knight in shining armour once..
an angel... in disguise besotted..
like mates, like inseparable pairs...
they'd done the dance in space...
with swirls and whirls..
and crazy turns....
....the motion, a merry motion...

Some forces unknown....
some out of control balances...
catapulted the moon away...
away to an unknown planet..
it neither knew nor loved.....

The dislocated planet is still in motion...
while its waters, and streams,
oceans and seas..
..just go haywire...

And somewhere far off....
they eat the moon...
with festivities......
.. A mid Autumn Occasion
...for festivities.
