Wandering Star
The wandering star tries to convince itself that it has a path to follow.
It floats around in the empty vastness of space, its celestial body giving off a soft yellow glow.
Its journey has been long and hard, but the wandering star never gives up hope.
It has been travelling for aeons in the darkness, but the wandering star never gives up hope.
One day, it finally reaches its destination:
A glowing blue orb, floating in the midst of the abyss.
The orb's glow comes not from light, but from its soul, its heart, its very being as it is filled with the essence of life.
The wandering star has found its place -- it belongs here and its mission is to watch over the blue orb.
The orb recognizes its guardian and it moves closer.
"I've been waiting so long," the orb says. The two begin a dance.
"You have done well child," the star says. "You have no more worries; I am here to protect you."
Both the wandering star and the glowing blue orb are filled with love and happiness for one another, for the blue orb now has someone to care for it, and the wandering star has found where it belongs.
The star fixes itself in space; it no longer wanders but remains ever silent, ever regal, watching over its precious blue orb.
*This story was inspired by the title of a Portishead song called "Wandering Star."
