A Planet's "Come Hither"

A Poem

from JoeUser Forums
People are like planets,
swallowing circumstance
in an immensity of inertia,
hurtling through darkness
with no guide but habit.

With my heart, with my thoughts,
with my life, I would move you;
but how does one move a planet?
How could I correct your course?

Our orbits meet only for a moment--
to be together have we any choice

but to collide?

Excellent writing again. The sentiment reminds me of the lyric from a George Michael song:

"Turn a different corner and we never would have met."

I pray for your continued healing,
Moskowitz
