The Sunless World

To some world out there, PSOJ 318.5-22: you are not alone

Imagine Earth without it’s light;

That dances forever in coldest night.

Somewhere in the imagination of space,

Is this sunless world in constant flight

 

A pilgrim planet, it runs away

From moon, from stars, the light of day;

A hidden black spot amongst a pixelated sky

That trudges on, alone, in disarray.

 

If hearts so cold could call this home,

I wonder if those souls, too, would always roam;

Alone an island, no hope of sunrise

Yet this world keeps spinning like our own.

 

It’s a difficult universe for a sunless place

That answers black to every face.

But in dreams not so alien, I must confess,

This dim-lit world shall find it’s space.
