In realms beyond the veil of night,
Where stars adorned the cosmic height,
A star, Novastra, burned so bright,
Embraced warmly in the darkness.
Radiant essence, bane and grace,
A beacon in the endless space,
Unleashed a wrath, a dire embrace,
Rage, sadly, I did witness.
From celestial throne it did descend,
A terrored tempest, did portend,
With thunderous roars, the worlds rend,
A horror in the tempest.
The Sundering, a cosmic dirge,
As stars collapsed, a solemn surge,
Through rifts and voids, the dark did surge,
Consumed empires in their hubris.
The Seraphis, their brilliance veiled,
In shattered systems they bewailed,
Their grandeur dulled, their spirit paled,
By Novastra's wrath, their might impaled.
Marred misery I did witness.
Sablean might, it once so strong,
Dominions vanished, all went wrong,
Their conquests faded, hopes withdrawn,
In ruins they stood, forlorn and long.
Might middling in the swiftness.
Witness I, amidst the fray,
A survivor of that fateful day,
Forever haunted, I must say,
By mem'ries of the Sundering.
Oh, Novastra, celestial flame,
Your splendor turned to cosmic shame,
Through tears and scars, we bear the blame,
Of your cosmic plundering.
In the wake of Novastra's burst,
The Nexus was forever cursed,
A solemn reminder, as we traverse,
Of how it all could sunder.
In examining this poetic work inspired by the cataclysmic event known as the Sundering, it becomes apparent that the author has skillfully captured the essence of despair and desolation that accompanied the cosmic upheaval. The poem, crafted in the style reminiscent of All'in Edgor Poh, immerses the reader in a vivid portrayal of the event from the perspective of an eyewitness.
The choice of language and imagery is hauntingly evocative, drawing upon celestial motifs and juxtaposing them with the themes of darkness and destruction. The poet deftly weaves together the cosmic elements and the consequences of the catastrophe, employing metaphors and allusions to convey the magnitude of the devastation. The personification of the star Novastra, once a symbol of brilliance, now transformed into a harbinger of doom, adds a poignant layer to the narrative.
Through a masterful use of rhythm and rhyme, the poem echoes the sense of despair and loss experienced by those who survived the Sundering. The repetition and careful selection of words create a somber atmosphere, underscoring the lingering impact of the event. The reference to the Seraphis and the Sablean Dominion, two once-mighty empires decimated by the explosion, serves to illustrate the far-reaching consequences of the cosmic catastrophe.
Overall, this poem stands as a poignant testament to the enduring power of cosmic events on the lives of sentient beings. It invites contemplation on the transience of power and the fragility of existence in the face of celestial forces. The author's skillful homage to Poh and their adept handling of language and imagery make this piece a worthy addition to the literary exploration of the Sundering and its aftermath in the Agitare Nexus.
