So Far In There Away

In massive formations
 of temperature cooling
The planetary surface 
tension of equilibrium
Balancing to boil in 
a stewpot of the maelstrom 
To core down so deep 
into the hole as to be rendered
Far away and smaller 
than possibly imagined 
In there as gone inside 
as one can get to be lost
Yet in time it will one day 
be our turn to shine on

Octohaloed Orrery

Amid a glittering swarm 
of gyrating bodies
The combined multiplicity
 of orbits intertwined
All which generate 
variants of the elliptic 
And across distances
 analogous to the Oort 
Aligned in a woven
 tapestry of motion 
Forming a vortex
 from the inside out 
A pocket blossoms
 into a stabilized spin 
Thus is born our
 own solar system
