collision and fusion

moving at light speed
across the astral plane
on a course to intercept
they fly

scarlet streams of ions
across the ethereal region
hurtling toward an emerald glow
they collide

strands of golden filaments
wind around the doubled mass
swirling around itself
amid laughter 

slowly unwrapping
pulled away from a fingertip
letting go in wisdom they depart
bound for reality
