Illuminating Darkness — A Sonnet For Tomorrow

Born under the weight of the burning sun,

Rho was comforted by its soothing light.

It revealed the bare land and gave him sight,

A beacon to the true promised bastion,

Leading him to the heavenly sanction

Of paradisial waters. For might

He stares, following the eternal rite.

Its grandeur climaxed in his accretion.

As he was pulled closer to its orbit,

The star dripped with blood, wrapped with frayed sinews.

Burning with life, Rho sees the parts all lie.

White dots line the sky that smoldered scarlet.

Raised, Rho grasps at life and continues,

A new star now forms in the vast night sky.
