Chaos in the Cosmos
Somewhere between the Void and Expanse
stand I, on this rock, looking up to empyrean.
To what clouded heavens may miss my chance,
to see my star cross paths with yours?
Howbeit, long before I am or you were,
and ten thousand lonely stars first sparked,
no friend of mine, Fate did decide,
of your constellation, I, a fierce blue star, am not.
Burn a little longer, I beg of you, I plead!
For Fate did wrong our lives too much.
Your light, ten thousand lifetimes away,
if it is already extinguished, my search is but naught.
You, an untamed red star, unattainable despite my wildest wish,
if you were to settle with Niulang, and not I,
then I would die ten thousand deaths before I am ever planted six feet down,
and you would love but one day a year, when I have been here all along.
Were I the Chaos in the Cosmos,
I would, at once, chart your star and mine.
they may not meet for ten thousand years,
but when they do, they will not cross, but intertwine.
