Beyond!

Although I knew a way of being me, I had not found this resonance beyond my own games. Then I heard your sounds, odd repetitions, changing directions, alternating cadence, vibrating rhythms, lessening so we can pause in between the prep and the load.
And yet here we were, this time as comets, approaching in space. A few light years ahead we sensed a precipice, yet we knew nothing until we were very close, some magnetic field that pulled us closer, and yet allowed us to move at a certain distance, calculated somewhere precise yet changeable, as no current known equation could predict. You then bobbed, and I moved back to allow for that space to be maintained, only until the fourth rep, on the fifth I didn’t, on this one I stood my space, and you came just as fast, and then realizing I did not move, slowed down appropriately, not breaking, but using something behind you to slow your speed but not your intention, until we made a light contact, Richter scale of 5, enough to reverberate and exchange information.
What came next could not be defined, at least not the origins, even though the interdependence will sound familiar.
I shot in a straight line, rotating forward, and you followed, first at light speed for at least an hour, enjoying the feeling of escaping together. On the 65th minute, I signaled my slowing down and you knew because my magnetic field told you so. As a surprise, a large planet showed up. I headed towards it, and then slowed down considerably. You then took the lead, playing with the planet’s magnetic pull, until you became a satellite. I hesitated, but then followed. We played by drawing circles in trajectories, telling stories of our past, dreams of our future, and dictating the present. A month later, you signaled that you wanted to leave, and bumping me lightly asked if I wanted to leave too, by simulating a slight bob away from the planet. I tapped you then started circling in a vortex, pulling a sand cloud from the planet. The sand formed in shapes and movement, telling the story of the planet’s birth, through chemicals that mixed and dissolved, to create a seemingly stable planet, that was burning right below the surface. You rejoiced in this story, and burned a volcano on your surface to thank me.
I reciprocated to thank you as well, and then an earthquake to signal that I was ready to leave.
We built off each other, building energy to move away from our giant host. We burst away 10 years later, leaving some of our shape behind.

You signaled a desire to change by going so fast you started to burn. I followed!
For the next year, we played with fire. Burning low and burning bright, toying with chemicals and colors of fire.
You were burning bright and fast, now knowing you for a while I experienced something in myself that wanted to burn bright too, and possibly become lighter, and freer.
We split for a bit, moving forward but at 90o apart. I now was aware of your presence, and heard a vibration that you wanted the lightness too. I called to a place I could see ahead, but you didn’t respond. I moved ahead anyway, having learned from our time together how to prominence some of these desires into actions. But now I was playing, lightly bouncing with our planets, letting go into magnetic circles, even dancing with a moon until she said she’d had enough of me and her own home planet. I let her intention pull me also, just for a bit, then following my prior path. A light year ahead of my destination, a beautiful supersun, I saw you approaching too, you were burning light blue, I was burning purple. We raced ahead to it, and you hit first, you seemed to disappear, and I wondered what would happen, and as I got closer and closer, you rose again in a sandstorm, circling up. I crashed too, in the same spot, mixing with some of your metals, which now told me what you had done, a reaction started, I lost my core, yet my surface blended into your storm, for a few days, until we built enough power to escape. Now as cosmic wind, we moved even freer, vibrating at frequencies unknown to us until then. Frequencies that made certain moons dance, but were otherwise invisible and untraceable to other planets. We intertwined at times, knowing and enjoying our journey of many light years, shapes, and intentions.
It is good to find connections! I am glad you exist!
