Stardust Soul

by Meghan Davis

Hovering nearer time and again Iced planets spiraling around each other rotating about separate axes Steady gazes remaining tethered peripheral to the parallel trajectory carved out beside them An alluring, inconceivable glimpse spurs ceremonious slowing of elliptic orbits Reversing direction, beginning to align Timidly drawing warmer Until gravity overwhelms hesitation and celestial bodies collide in an earth-shattering explosion Sending shockwaves across silent plains Melded afterglow burning up remnants of endured solitude Piercing once empty darkness with freckled light
