When Worlds Collide

 

A soft, piano entrance
Of a decorated Andromeda
Betrothed to a monster
Whose only hope in life
Is death itself
And so it came
Swiftly as a sword
And so came the music
That poured from his soul…
A crescendo from minor to major
Vivace and mezzo forte
Until the sun imploded
In a supernova of fire
Illuminating the sky
In colors like never before
And so it was seen
Once and for all
That this savage serpent
Was in fact a beautiful beast.
