reason

there is a reason under heaven
why planets must collide,
for thus colliding, they produce
the meteors of the sky;
these meteors, they collide some more,
and learn trajectory,
and plummet down into the earth,
a fiery show to be;
they dive, and give themselves to flames,
burnt offerings of space,
and man beholds their lifestreak fade,
and wishes, hopes, and prays.
