It's like two stars colliding:
First a sizzle, then a crash
And the mirrored worlds
  begin a mutual orbit
  off the predictable path.

A yellow sign proclaims Danger:
Only risks past here.
But combined momentum
  propels them forward;
  together they surpass fear.

On earth, a teacher sees
A shooting star above.
She points straight up,
  See, children, look:
  the sky's embedded with love.
