Jupiter
Wrote his first stanza
Cruising through
The happy jungle of stars
In the dawn of time
II
He breathed
New life into the galaxy by
Feeding and grooming the
Budding stars in the Milky Way
Sprouting the rainbow
III
Then, he undertook a
New cosmic adventure along the
River of dreams…
Nourishing the red dwarf with
Sweet memories of his first love
IV
He found his voice
In the years of the great
Cosmic upheaval
His first offering was a thriller
A golden poem with attitude
V
Jupiter’s poem was
Born in pain & deprivation…
Each stanza an
Embodiment of perfection
Over-flowing with love divine
VI
After many years
Of grief and solitude, he
Embraced the new light
With great passion, as the wild
Rose continued to bloom

This was great; I felt as though I was reading creation mythos of some forgotten tribe. Wouldn't that be great; every planet the birth of Jupiter's breath?
Thanks Bradley. We all need a little bit of Jupiter's creative force. It could change our lives. :)
"A golden poem with attitude"!!!!
That's a good thing. Speaking as someone well acquainted with pain and deprivation, that is but a stepping stone to finding and believing in real love, for everyone and for ourselves. Jupiter is a friend indeed and inspiration as well.
I, absolutely, agree with you that Jupiter is a great friend and an inspiration. Thank you for your thoughtful comment, Technobabe.
