When two celestial bodies meet
as they travel through the sky-
they have three options:
Sometimes they swirl around each other
like a cosmic slingshot
and one sails into space
faster than when it started.
Sometimes they draw close-
spin around each other for a season
and crash together
becoming one.
Oh so rarely-
do they meet and orbit
around each other
a stellar waltz
into eternity.
As we travel through the sky
what do we want?
To spring from world to world?
To collide and unite?
Or to dance for all time-
through the void, together?
Happy Valentine's Day!
