Nascent Star
Dark nebulae obscure upon reflection survey
Yon silver street, the silken firmament to portend
The night watchers rapture, through prodigious light display,
Eternal errand to the milky cradle of fortuna blend.
Luminary arbiter measure Midas, reveal
And beget the grain to endow the vital course:
Sprung progeny from dust and gas, like the wheel
To fortune bound, emollient of stellar source
Wrapped in nights pearls, naked accrete of thirsty fate
Dissimilate the cloud for high or low birth?
Give bounty dust this teeming dote and create
The sum of noble marrow, eternal worth!
Centuries sprung from obscurity to conquer
All within my fixed time? As Chamaeleon shroud
All common origin traced by kin interlace, concur
Astral lone to body gone, by scattered light avowed,
And so through the ages I suppliant evolve,
From bonded yolk in hope the borrowed path
Will weight the bliss I seek, uncanny time, love
And hope in momentum raves for stellar epitaph,
Steadfast to the core prodigal dust return,
Dissolve, create, destroy the sphere as needs must,
To the night trail track my dust to the silver urn,
Distinction to extinction my envelope of dust.
