Solaranite - Mercury Retrograde

The heavens did darken, the omens were clear, A farmer’s best oxen lay cold on the bier. The swordsmith’s great hammer struck brittle and missed, And the trapmaker’s pit claimed a knight in its teeth. The monks spoke in whispers of skies unaligned, The stars in rebellion, their paths undefined. What fool dares to labor when planets betray? Let wisdom prevail—leave your burdens at bay. Mercury in retrograde again, A sign from the stars, a celestial amen. The heavens conspire, their will to obey, All mortals must bow when the skies lose their way. A roof left untended gives way in the rain, A deal struck at twilight brings ruin and pain. The fletchers’ fine arrows, they splinter mid-flight, While the baker’s good fire will not take alight. What use is ambition when planets misstep? No task is too noble; none earn heaven’s prep. Blame not mortal folly for folly is fate— The cosmos commands, and we hesitate. Mercury in retrograde again, A sign from the stars, a celestial amen. The heavens conspire, their will to obey, All mortals must bow when the skies lose their way. Take heed when the planets resume their old track, Do not rush to labor or welcome them back. For eclipses shall follow, and comets will flare, And celestial omens will ever ensnare.
