The greatest white dot on a cloudless dark night <br />The sunlight reflects to my unworthy eyes <br />Endlessly shifting, your core out of sight <br />I'm compelled to reflect on your ominous size <br /> <br />I'm a pixel 'gainst your stark verity <br />Comets, like moths, accept your influence <br />I have thoughts of your violence and gravity <br />If left up to you there'd be cosmic convergence <br /> <br />Your unworldly mass never fails to astound me <br />As I gaze awestruck 'cross the vacuum void <br />Not the greatest by far but the brightest I see <br />Oft mistook for a star, from influence devoid <br /> <br />The titanic bulk of your gaseous sea <br />What cosmic secrets are veiled in your depth? <br />Masked by your tempest in wild urgency <br />Centuries taken to rethread your weft <br /> <br />O Jupiter, leave me to steer my existence <br />I'll leave you to yours and your stoic resistance<br /><br />Esra Sloblock<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/giant/
