Upon an age, an Age begot, liked or not,
Time terraformed, self-absorbed – replete.
A traveler’s tune, aroma’s fruit, soul-bought
Cost, consumed by dread – loneliness complete.

Upon a world, a World begot, struck when hot,
Time tempered by emotion’s sight – uneased.
A prisoner’s dirge, flowing words, soul-caught
Caste, deceived by kind – anxiously deceased.

Upon a time, a Time will cease, stars begot,
Timed true by hearts, somewhere apart – bleeding.
A marriage song, cosmos long, soul-taught
Care, released by need, Sirius – pleading.

Upon a night, a Knight will shine; See what’s wrought.
New Age bought, Orion’s Arm held aloft.
