Music Of the Spheres
Flat
Earth,
old home,
marble domed
and painted with stars,
easier for simple mortals
than this slowly spinning ball suspended in chaos.
Pythagoras heard heavenly harmony humming in space – the planets' mystic song.
Divine choreography ruled humanity's fate
whilst we worshipped blindly below,
humble and fearful,
ignorant,
trusting –
less
brave.
