Planets revolve through heaven <br />like stones in the mind, <br />each star a solar system <br />drifting in space unknown, <br />had I sight in my eyes <br />I would look toward the sky, <br />had I vision in my brain <br />I should seek love. <br /> <br />Mars came to my ancestral door <br />to echo lettered names, <br />Venus rang loud chimes on the bell <br />singing dirges to fame, <br />Jupiter observed my existence <br />in full realisation of the outcome, <br />Saturn discovered my love <br />holding barren meteors of space, <br />had I sight in my eyes <br />I would look to this world, <br />had I vision in my brain <br />I should look elsewhere.<br /><br />Richard Allen Beevor<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/had-i-sight-in-my-eyes/
