There is a thing that is strived for. A one in a million…
“There is a thing that is strived for. A one in a million, a golden fish in a shoal of thousands. A star is distanced a century away from each other star. But yet, a simple man may gaze up and admire it's beauty and simple elegance. He can try as hard as be can to yell and scream up at the star, but that star can't hear him. However, thousands and thousands of miles in the sky, the star gazes down. That one man, she says miniscule and small, has noticed, me. I am the same as all these stars, with my beauty and radiance. The man lay down and sobbed. This was not just a star. This was a smoldering and blazing archon, formed over thousands of years of care. His vision blurred. The star was now a diamond among coals. Light reflected within, all the colors of the rainbow.”
