Like the ancient wanderers
This orb of gas and stone
Travels through the Universe
But this one is all alone.
It hasn’t a companion,
No star to circle round.
If it formed around a gaseous disk
The others are all gone.
It wanders lonely
Deep in space
Off to parts unknown,
Perhaps to find a willing star
and finally find a home
Astronomers have found an orphan planet
