Analysis of Our Alignment With the Planets
Karl Constantine FOLKES 1935 (Portland)
Our solar system.
Created from gas and dust.
How did it arise?
The planets aligned with us.
An alchemical wonder.

About this poem
We live, breathe, grow, multiply, become old, and eventually die in tandem with the universe and the planets of the solar system. That is the wonderful mystery of creation.
