Analysis of Cycles Of The Sun
There is a timelessness in cycles of the sun.
Seasonal positions
of north and south are run.
There is a timelessness in planetary swirl.
Cosmic vicinities
put around a black thirl.
There is a timelessness in tidal ocean show.
Lunar revolutions
give rise to ebb and flow.
There is a timelessness in lofty mountain peaks.
Terrestrial stations
afford pensive critiques.
There is a timelessness in nautical archives.
Aquatic vestiges
case histories revive.
There is a timelessness in lines of living things.
Genetic legacy
transmit the gimbal rings.
