I course through dark skies,
Blazing past silent planets,
Vanish as they call.
What am I?

Do You have a Support Network?
Life is harder when youβre on your own. Human beings are social creatures, and we usually feel better when we have support from a strong social network around us. For most people, itβs our families that hold us together like glue.

Comet
Hey, thanks, everyone for commenting!
Shooting Star! "They" being people making wishes
Comet was the first thing that came to my mind. Not sure if it's correct π
Wow, those are some fantastic lines! I found them really interesting.
It could be Tsuchinshan-Atlas, the "new" very old comet coming from Oort-cloud very far away, 3000 times the distance to Pluto, and it is supposed to be visible from october 12th until november 10th. The scientist think, it will never again visit the Earth and inner Solarsystem area, as it is probably thrown out of our solarsystem (vanishes)
Hey guys, thanks for visiting! Will respond to all answers a little later to give everyone some time to decipher this little Senryu!
I concur with Sam Harty - Haley's Comet only comes round every 75 years or so.....and managed to coincide with Mark Twain's life span.....right?
Haley's Comet? π€
