Eccentric Eyes
Followed by a Moonshadow
*
Elliptical paths, with an off-centred focus, create many egg shaped seeds.
Circular orbits are distorted by gravity pulling at constant light speeds.
*
Lunar and solar mysteries have obscure timing, studied by Earthlings with curious eyes.
Interference of sunlight forms moon shadows as Earth follows its path through the skies.
*
Pulsing planets cycling around a wobbling sun were observed by the ancients, then Copernicus, Tycho and Kepler.
Star-seeded humans have been drawn to understand themselves as part of the gears of each itinerant cycling pedaller.
Eclipses, discovered to happen when the moon is at its nodes, reveal that mankind exists in the universe as an eccentric settler.

My To Be Read List
I have been taking some time away from writing. I haven't forgotten about Vocal, the truth is I just have been too busy pursuing other things to write online and honestly, my little family and I just had a really hard month between the flu and a weird eye infection/cold circulating our house. I'm currently sipping some warm peppermint tea because my throat is sore.
