Planets and Such

In the picture
they are sharing the world
between the two of them
she is holding it in her
outstretched arms
they stare at the
illuminated center
like it is precious
like it is everything
big glowing planet
for a moment on unspin
they ponder its frailty
and place
in the backdrop
of their existence
holding it there momentarily
before it bounces from them
into the galaxy
lost within a spiraling universe

    Oh, this has such a lovely sounding “parable” feeling to the story. Lana, having the world in their hands together is an incredible joint experience to have. . .

    “like it is precious
    like it is everything”
    It is, really. Holding and loving the earth, what a great way to start the day! 🙂
