Titan aged god footsteps quiet.

Abundant seedlings , crushed.

Saturn’s not in align with Jupiter and Mars.

But there are reserved seeds placed by Saturn hidden below the surface. Unseen, ready to rebound with a spring of rainfall divine wisdom.

On Titan's shore I stand

the rings of Saturn setting -

tears now ice on my cheeks

Saturn ~

Saturn’s icy breath,

Heats the earth with frozen glare,

Rivers dry, flames rise.

.

Rings cast shadows deep,

On a world out of balance,

Seasons lost to time.

.

Under Saturn’s eye,

Storms gather, earth bends, cracks wide,

Nature pleads in vain.

We could do with some of his frozen glare here. It's been far too hot again in the UK this Summer! Haha... 😎

I’m in London for the week and I’m amused at people apologizing for the sweltering temperatures. I hail from Las Vegas. This summer has been 110 degrees Fahrenheit for months on end. Not one drop of rain.

It’s poured buckets in Halifax. We stood in raincoats and giggled from exquisite joy of watching raindrops splatter.

Oh wow. Well these temperatures are much cooler compared to that! We have had some summers that have gone above 100, but it is thankfully rarer. Although, the weather has been changing dramatically recently. I didn't even own a fan until about ten years ago, because it used to be so mild here. Now I own seven! Haha... 😎

It's shocking how quickly things have got this bad. They say it's probably going to start hitting 50C in some parts of Europe in the near future! 😎

Father Time, husband

To Lua Mater. Arms won

In battle are hers.

Father Time bring us

Plenty. Fill our granaries

For our daily bread.

I once read someone’s speculation or fictional piece that humanity had been planet hopping and destroying their worlds, war, pollution,etc. and moving on- Saturn’s rings were a visible aftermath of a nuclear war- so I went with it! 😬✨

In times of fortune

Feasts of grain and meat

Make people festive -

but when overthrown

vermin and weather

bring upon ruin.
