We dance around each other
like planets in orbit
Pulled and held by a gravity
We don’t understand.
But we do know
That if we ever touch
It will be the end
of innocence.

Beautiful, metaphysical poem, Stafford. The mix of art and cosmology and theology is wonderful, and very poignant.

Interesting, and as usual so "right" there. I liked it very much. And I think you are right about the innocence, but only a very wise man would know this.

Superb. The end of innocence... you create a very evocative image here in just a few words, and the final line kicked me right in the gut. Sign of a good poem. Word economy, imagery that elicits emotion. Bravo
