Disclaimer: I do not own the Chronicles of Narnia. I most definitely do not own the Star Cycle by Wildhorses1492—or any of the characters within.
Author's Note: This is a short poem about Arran, one of my favorite characters in the Star Cycle by Wildhorses1492. All credit goes to her!
Half human, yet half Star,
A vagabond you are,
Caught twixt the earth and sky.
Look decades in the eye
As they pass by.
All others die, yet you live on
Until your earthly light is gone.
You need no food nor rest beside
Until you sit at Aslan's side.
Why do you wander here below
When to the sky you wish to go
To dance among your kin?
Deep, deep within,
Like others' sin,
You see the line 'tween the earth and home
And you stay down here to roam.
Some fascination lurks in kind
Beneath the skies you left behind.
What drags you here?
Are you a Seer
To know what lies ahead?
Whose marriage bed
Will soon be dead?
Whose home will burn?
Whose luck will turn?
Or does some other fortune bring
You from the sounds the Stars do sing?
I fancy 'tis some human maid,
Her tousled hair hung in a braid,
Her black-blue eyes,
Lit in surprise
At starlit skies.
You love her beauty, love her gaze
You stand amazed.
But does she love you,
Could it possibly be true?
