A Lonely Planet Ponders

I'm unleashed but feel a pull; I'm in orbit.

Gravity, my greatest attraction,

Has never let me down.

I am one of several, maybe many;

I'm not sure, I seldom see the rest.

I know, though, that there are more like me.

A network, a galaxy;

A universe at work.

As I spin, solitary,

As I wend my way through space,

There's design; there's order; there is a pattern.

There are causes and their effects,

And there are reasons that

Such should happen this way

And this should happen in such a way.

Even unpredictability is governed by principle.

Take comfort.

Chance, too, toes a line.
