Impossible Things by Dawn McLachlan Sometimes When things seem impossible Or if you feel as if you don't fit in Just remember that on Mars the sunsets are blue and Venus spins backwards and that far out in our galaxy there is a planet with a heart of diamonds Remind yourself that one teaspoon of a neutron star Weighs more than all the humans on our planet put together Know that some rogue planets just wander the galaxy completely alone And some planets are speeding away from us so fast That we will never see them In fact, in the immeasurable vastness of space There is no such thing As a typical planetary system Or a typical planet Because each one is unique Just like you
A #fridaypoem for someone unique. Just like you.
First published in ‘Space - Royal Observatory Greenwich Poetry Book’ pub. by @panmacmillan.bsky.social and chosen by Gaby Morgan.
