Transcription

The stars in the sky are used to keeping their peace, keeping their place...some have planet hangers on, but what star could settle, in earnest, for something lesser than themselves? But the strangest sight painted the night's inky canvas only some short hours ago... Two stars, both equally bright, cuddled together last night, yes, on Valentine's night, cuddled so close together as to appear as more than themselves, greater in brightness than the sum of their individual parts, joining in a cosmic union of supernatural, supernovas, nebulaeic beauty, pulsing brightness beyond the bounds of all that is known and unknown, so blindingly bright that the light today does not even come from the jealous sun, but from the two stars burning bright, out there in outer space, cuddling, and in love!
