I always knew you werenât for me, for this lifetime. You are a planet in my universe. We will always orbit the same sun, just our orbits were always fated to be at different speeds. Our momentarily alignment with our sun was bright and fierce, and left our a permanent mark on our respective planets that will last a lifetime. If I am an earth, the energy you brought to us caused a rainforest to flourish on my land. My trees grew strong and happily when you were there, because you were different and you were good. Your light was the light my earth had been craving, had been needing, to finally grow. But my earth didnât need your light forever. When you left, my tears brought a great rain to my forrest that nourished it enough to last a life time. It became a permanent beautiful forrest that stood as a reminder of your short lived presence.
But for you, I was a Phoenix. I burned you to the ground. But neither of us knew this, until you woke up one day and realized your forrest had become ashes. The heat I brought you wasnât given in ill will, you see, the problem was your earth was in a drought. And the dry conditions werenât ready for the heat. So you left, and like the Phoenix, rose again from the ashes. And as you orbited further away from me, the green seeds of new life slowly started to poke through the ground, and you finally saw that the fire was needed to start over again. But by the time we orbited again, many moons later, I had found another orbit. And I promised you would as well. And you did. And while both our earths are full of life, there will always be those forests that we both tended to together that will always be the lungs of our respective earths.
But sometimes on clear nights like tonight, I look up into the sky and see your earth go passing by high up in my sky. And I canât help but to wonder what life if like on that planet now, so many years after my last visit. And all I can do is pray that it is good, because I am more than good. Because we are both more than good. Â
I never would have been able to orbit you the way you wanted, and you would be spinning off your axis trying to orbit me. So I hold my breath when we spin too close and ignore the cosmic energy that we put into the universe all those years ago.Â
