A bright comet fading across a vast dark sky above a solitary figure on a rocky ridge.

A comet streaks across the sky a blaze of fire a fleeting light

But does the cosmos clutch at its trail grasping at what is already gone

No mark is left upon the void no scar upon the silent black

it burns it shines it fades to nothing and space remains just as it was

Yet here you stand believing still that thoughts are stone that wounds are real that every fear and fleeting sorrow etches deep, unshakable

But what if your pain was just a comet a passing spark against the dark

What if no thought could shape your essence no moment could define your soul

Watch the comet and let it go

It does not linger nor should you

For like the sky that holds the stars you are vast, untouched and free

Take a moment before choosing what comes next.
