When the lovers return to Earth <br />And discover that in their absence <br />Nothing of worth, <br />Can be recovered from their loss. <br />And they feel in love’s abstinence <br />Only despair for: <br /> Another country at war, <br /> Another political crisis, <br /> Or another broken home. <br /> <br />They walk alone, they walk alone <br />And can often be found, <br />Screaming into the firmament <br />Their beloved’s name, <br />As though the stars were to blame.<br /><br />stephen roe<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/heavenly-bodies-3/
