Book I: The First Iteration of Sorrow

Alone.


Saturn’s Son of Sorrow
Slowly loses form…


For the first two decades, he existed
with the heart of a boy,
but the soul of an old man…


Just as his heart began,

to age,
to close,
to grow cold…

Divinity!

Oh, divinity struck!

She spoke,

“This is the world,
it is for you.
Go and sing praise.
Wait for the one.
Wait for truth.
It will find you.”


And with that, a great fire was born into his heart.
And he aged 2000 years.


He existed in jubilee.
Yet, quiet and conserved.

Until one day, he met his match…

True Beauty

Across the room, she smiled.

Oh and how she smiled.

INFINITY SPOKE THAT DAY


Her ghost did haunt his memory.

Within her eyes, he could see,
great visions

of home,

of love,

of futures.


Was she the one of prophecy?

He identified a truth in her.
She smells like incense.

Finally,
he had found one with whom
he could share ALL of his secrets.

But she was not for him.
She had her own.

Despair and depression ensued.


Divine right betrayed him.
Just as easily as the world was given,
the world was taken away.

Before him now,
stood the tallest mountain.

He cried,

“I just want to return to Saturn.
Please! Shed my mortal coil.
I just want… To go home.

Ribono Shel Olom,
Take me home.”


With that a great and terrible lightning struck the peak.

The world Shepard
descended from the bolt.

From his great crux,
a shower of flame
engulfed the boy.
