Puzzled superstar
Sol mer vee urr mar
Riddled from afar
Sol mer vee urr mar
Or, just the harmonies
Sol mer vee urr mar
Of their properties
Sol mer vee urr mar
Ranked by luminosity
Sol mer vee urr mar
Temperature, over density
Sol mer vee urr mar
Distance, minus velocity
Sol mer vee urr mar
Biomass, over entropy
Sol mer vee urr mar
Spotting patterns, that weren’t really there
Perplexed Kepler’s inquisitive mind
But didn’t come close, to the hidden host
Or boast encounters of any kind
Charge to the power! of -three
Headcount over periodicity
Souls by diversity
Population density
Poor Kepler, thought he’d tried everything
To find the hidden harmonic shapes within
Fitting solids Platonic, now seems ironic
But he kept trying new things, and started to sing…..
Mercury: squeaks a soprano shrill
In Earth and Venus’ alto faces
Mars stars, as the red terra tenor
Saturn and Jupiter, play the basses
Me ve er ma ju sa
Meve erma jusa
Me veer maju sa
Meve erma jusa
In vain, I’ve been trying
To complete the pattern
Kepler failed to find
Way, beyond Saturn
I tried all possible configurations
Which just added, to my frustrations
So, I gave up, resigned
To unwind, this God’s mind
Seeking harmonies, with limited information
Pythagoras, Plato and Ptolemy
Really couldn’t have known better
Yet poor Kepler, with just one God
Spelt Mars’ fate out, to the letter
In logical maths, not in the music heard
Nor seen in art, nor described in words
Kepler won, he found the relationships
It all adds up… But there must be, more to it
