ORBITS

Like planets we circle in silence,
each held in a path of our own.
The distance between us is measured,
yet bound by a pull that is known.

The space is not absence but rhythm,
a balance that keeps us aligned.
Even in quietest distance,
your gravity rests into mine.

Though silence may stretch like forever,
and shadows may widen the span,
the orbit was written in starlight,
long before time began.

For love is not lost in the vastness,
it breathes where the galaxies bend.
Two souls may be scattered as planets,
yet always they meet in the end.

So let distance expand into beauty,
let silence resound through the skies.
for even the stars need their spacing,
to burn with a brilliance that never dies.
