Septem Terras Revolvi TRAPPIST-One (Latin: seven planets revolve)
They dance mutually On and On

All might be locked tidally
That is one true anomaly

Life if is there to evolve,
Will it be Sapiens or Neanderthal?

40 of our years light will take,
Don’t imagine or thy mind will shake

Will we for once shake hands and unite?
To reach the holy presence of stars.
