Hello!
The prompt for today is to write a ballad, and have it be about something tragic or sad. For inspiration I turned to a video game I played recently, Outer Wilds. The game has a really cool story and exploration and a sad ending. I tried to keep this spoiler free, as the game is best played with little to no spoilers, but there are a couple hints in my poem. So if you want to plan to play this game and want to stay spoiler free, please do not continue. To all others, enjoy!
A boy who's grown now goes to space
among the first his kind.
To travel out to unknown worlds
is what he has in mind.
Nomai relics on all the worlds
their history is lost
Did the come from our star system
or from the stars they crossed?
The boy goes out to all the worlds
to see what he can see
But dangers lurk 'round every turn
and sometimes he must flee.
There's mysteries around our star
there's something called the eye?
The Nomai wished to seek it out
it's somewhere in the sky.
Their secrets hidden everywhere
he does not have much time
For the star goes supernova
it is well past its prime.
But time repeats and loops again
he has another chance
To follow clues and mysteries
of the eye he gets a glance.
He learned of all the secrets here
and knows what he must do
With core in hand and lost shop found
he will now see this through.
The eye is very powerful
but cannot save his friends
The universe is dying now
this is how it all ends.
Thanks for reading!
