The Earth Walks Through the Universe Alone: A Poem
Space poetry.
Please read my usage policy before asking for permission to use this piece.
The Earth walks through the universe alone
and yet in step with others, moving slow
across the rhinestone-studded belt of space
and back again to where she was before.
She dares not travel farther than the path
she trod the year before, and before that.
If she should wander off her dusty track,
her sibling spheres might fail to call her back.
But sometimes she looks out across the space
that is her home, and wonders what it’s like
to travel straight instead of round-and-round.
The stars call faintly to her, and she sighs.
