The Earth Was Heavy Poem by Julia Luber
The Earth Was Heavy
The earth was heavy, but the sun was light.
Through that which circled that the whole was bright.
Concealing no wonder what to the dark of night.
Such points were peace in time; no indoctrination of a fight.
Not split. Not naught by wit.
Not what was wide nor far.
It all circled round to that one star.
How many points it had nor none could bar.
Nor make of it what could another feature mar.
That sun was light; that earth was bright!
The earth was heavy. But the sun was far.
Your panache for the philosophical and metaphysical shine through. The celestial interplay is as mystical as it is mythical.
Thank you for your reading and you've understood it just like I would like it to be understood- about the metaphysical connections of these planets, earth and sun.
It all circled round to that one star/How many points it had nor none could bar/Nor make of it what could another feature mar....fascinating expression! An elegant piece of work....................10
It does have a neat, almost bittersweet spiritual quality to it. Nice.
Thank you. I'm glad you picked up on the bittersweet spirituality. That's a perfect way of explaining the emotional abstraction.
Dear Julia, this poem centres Earth. Thank you for your support.

In space Earth is a pinipoint of light. A reflection of light from the sun from afar.All around there is nothing where we are held by gravity. From nothing it began and to nothing it will go. A difficult but rewarding poem. The second line of the first stanza needs refining.
