Dream from last night: 10/24/2012

Two enormous planets float
in tar-black space.
One planet has a thin, green halo.
The other has a thin, blue halo.
The green is the green of a firefly.
The blue, the blue of a violet.
On each planet, strands of white clouds.
Dark shadows below--land.
A third, smaller planet swings in view.
This one has a thin, yellow halo.
The yellow, the yellow of blonde hair in sunshine.
A voice, "You have two choices. You can either link the planet in orbit between the two giants, or you can smash it into one, merging it."
I feel that I can control the orbit of the small planet.
I pull (What? I don't know. An invisible chord? A string I cannot feel?)
And the small planet swings precariously between the giants--
it is nearly crushed between them.
I keep pulling on the chord--the energy-field that is linked
to my hands. The planet orbits faster...feels more stable.
"I don't want it to collide," I say to the faceless voice.
As the planet makes another lap, I slacken the chord.
It speeds toward the green-haloed planet.
I fear they will collide, obliterating the smaller one.
At the last second, I pull the chord tight,
and the planet settles between the two
in a gravity-lock.
