THE RED STAR THAT WAITED
It wanted to take me, I refused to go to the unknown
THE RED STAR THAT WAITED
It burns quietly
in the darkest space,
a crimson circle
breathing fire.
Thin branches of light
curl from its heart,
stretching towards me
in silent hunger.
I feel its pull
like an old memory,
a warning hidden
behind the glow.
It watches softly
from the endless dark,
never blinking
never fading.
Something inside it
seems almost aware,
a trembling force
ready to rise.
I stand still
as shadows shift,
hearing a whisper
I cannot place.
Its red glow grows,
alive with intent,
a quiet storm
waiting to open.
And in that moment
I understand its call,
the strange desire
to pull me through.

It waited kind of like a friend knowing you are looking and waiting for some kind of answer or something.
