Alas, the story begins

and so . . .
in the beginning
there were
the Heavens
and the Planets
and the Moons

and many, many Gods
wise and true

But . . .
as with any great
Fiction
something held itself
to be stranger than
the Universe
could conjure

a Harmony
in progression

the Worlds would invent
and reinvent
a new name
for themselves:

precisely placed Center
courageous and yellow
to lead the Disko of sorts
a Glitter ball
broken by
the fractions of eon
pale into the night

Merciless and still Merciful
another little ball
quick in poisionous song
first in line
last to bring the message
of Heaven to wandering
percussion

a derelict Aphrodite
sits upon a jambouri
hotter than her Lover
and so ill at ease
what more can Heaven do
to bring her
to her knees
but Play
those whispering chords

o blah de
Land and Sea
as opposed to the Sky
divine as a Diva
to sing
in solitude
a nickel-plated Magnetism
so rare
and yet so unversed

o blah da
the planet Red in
War-time melody
confuses a nation of silence
vibrating to bid
those Drums thumping
of the Dead sea

and yet

rock Star
larger than Life itself
descends upon a Kingdom
plays faster
louder
harder
as a yellow disk of Storm
raging from the
deaf

the radius of Gyration
appears
wrapped in silver hoops
a Seductress swings
in saturation and dust
from her green high heels
dancing for her Daddy
in uninhibited revelry

just like the Gods used to do

oh, and what of Daddy
his place in this tune
so slow in his melancholy
he sings the Blues
with a jazzy Razzle Dazzle
oh Daddy Do play it again
so naturally

the Waves reach so far
from the stage
just Screaming to be heard
a catalyst of the Sea
and a ******* Son stealing
the Love
of truth and destiny

encore
one more please

dragging the scent
of Hell itself
a new Revelation
slowly waits
in the backrow backseat
for the one moment
no Shadows can be seen
far too little to be heard
not screaming
just waiting
as the opposite end
of the Center
begins her own
verse

and so . . .
a Harmony of the Spheres
with each playing
as a tune of whispers
emerge

the Universe
could not contain
the self worth
of Distinction

so Gods chose
among the few remnants
of Possibility
which revoltion
to sync inside

leaving many singular orbs
humming for Greatness
to spin their tale

inventing
and reinventing
the same Tune
until the Pleasure
ends

each planet has its own God and its own verse; each sings its own song; but personally, I found a passage about the Harmony of the Spheres on accident, as well as the Radius of Gyration; somewhere, I remembered the two when I decided to write this; and, the Beatles found their way into it as well.  it is still in progress, but thank you thank you thank you.

indeed, this is a harmony that has always been. . . and will always be. . .

the music of the heavens. . . the beat of the universe. . .

well done. . . very deep in thought and in feeling. . .

Ah, as your name implies, you have the joy of life and living within your heart, and it flows nicely through this poem.
