Darkstar
My life was truly that of a darkstar
A body devoid of light, of warmth, of energy.
I was resigned to a cold existence with little hope of regeneration.
Then, seemingly out of the darkness, you came,
With a light and energy that was felt even
As you entered the boundaries of my universe.
As you grew closer, your amazing energy ignited
The fire in the core of this dark star;
Warming my soil and fueling the source of my center.
When you near the boundaries of this dark star’s atmosphere,
My gravity becomes stronger, drawing your careening body closer,
Giving you cause to change your trajectory and alter the path of your own flight.
With such a small change in course,
A change in perspective simultaneously occurs;
Causing a new outlook, a new hope, and a new plan.
The fragility of the universe is always present in my mind.
Even as my world continues to evolve and renew,
The power of your core still strengthens me.
I will forever be grateful to the source of energy you provided this dark star.
Sending my newly regenerated body on a course toward my destiny.
Yet I wonder if the gravity you helped to strengthen might draw you closer or send you careening
away.
Time will pass and the universe will disclose the direction
of this dark star’s path.
For now, I relish in the presence of the energy you provide.
I have become a new body, with new desires and new expectations.
The possibilities of this new star are endless.
The effects on my universe immeasurable.
How lucky I have been to be in the path of your trajectory, for I will never be the same.
