Odyssey

so
I wonder what would it be like
if I were a planet in your universe

what if I flew too near to your sun?

would you singe my wings like Icarus
hurling me downward onto the jagged rocks of your shores?

could I revolve
and evolve within your solar system
keeping track of time and seasons?

would you support me with your gravity
or would I fall from your galaxy into unknown worlds beyond?

would I be just another planet in your universe?
another star among the millions
illuminating your nocturnal skies?

I wonder what it would be like
if I were a planet
in your universe
