Celestial Dance

Buried deep in the cosmos,
Embedded in the Phoenix constellation,
There are two stars adorning our names,
If only just a capitalist hoax.
We are those binary stars,
Born from the same ash and dust.
A symbol of our many similarities,
Yet each still shines uniquely.
They are held together by
One common center of gravity,
Orbiting each other,
Leaning into their celestial dance.
We twirl here cautiously,
Just out of reach but arms outstretched
To provide a helping hand,
A soft place to land when falling.
Yet both are still too afraid to touch,
Afraid we will burn the other.
As time marches on,
A deep tenderness continues to draw us in,
And I remain blanketed in your warmth,
Coated in your comforting light.
Time and trust will work their magic
Until we become one star.
Joined hand in hand, fueled by love,
Shining brightly if only just for us to see.
