Star Gazing

Posted by Terrence Johnson

A gaze into the vast nothingness of space
The uninspired randomness of black and white
The daily repetition of sights
Searching for my special star
While surveying the nightly monotony
A peculiar light illuminates the otherwise uneventful void
An unusual hue of warmth penetrates my eyes and psyche
This feeling is one-of-a-kind
My eyes may witness this impending supernova
But my heart feels completeness
The energy emitted from its core obliterates its surroundings
A panoramic view of a truly once in a lifetime event
Even black holes are powerless against its will
Suddenly the sky is dominated by streaks of brilliant white light
Stretching as far as the eye can see

Only an event as grandiose as this
Could illustrate the love that we share
For years I wondered through worthless relationships
Waiting for the day my star would come
All others dim in the presence of your illumintation
It was as if I was directed to you
You were predestined to be my destiny
But loving only the external was not enough
I must love your total being, and not half heartedly
The only way that this was possible
Was to totally deconstruct you, to learn every aspect and detail of your being
Only through destruction can complete understanding occur
