Planet 9

Memories of fiery rock
the rising comet Hale-Bopp
extents its stay in earthly sights
long travels reading "Planet 9''

It was the start of something wild 
My darkest skies protective guide- 
Full-star gazing, starry eyed 
I'm yours-all now to pick your side

While learning journals row by row,
the flaw, I spotted long ago
your ghostly charms retained my smiles
whose off-track hooks would wind my life

So long, lovers, wrap up times 
You made me cross all mighty lines 
All three of them do not combine
But hazel eyes and sparkling wine

The candle light burns fast tonight 
Will you confess, I've crossed your mind?
I picture you from Planet 9 
Oh dearest, bring me home through time! 

Bob Dylan's "Visions of Johanna" is high on my list of favorite songs. It captures our longing for an "ideal" (Johanna), which could represent a long-lost teenage love, a fictional lover, or a passion we equate with "true love." This ideal might be shaped by childhood experiences, embodying not so much a person as a feeling we hold dear. That's my interpretation!
