On Fate

It was almost ten years ago when I met the Sun.
He appeared in my life, a bright flash of light,
burning furiously,
spectacularly.
It is a rare opportunity indeed, to cross paths with a star.
We tend to think of them as inhabiting the heavens,
lighting up the night skies.
But every so often, you find them living among us,
bringing with them their warmth and energy.
They rarely stick around for long though.

Was it my fate to meet the Sun?
Perhaps.
Perhaps it was a semi-random chain of events and decisions,
Left, right, left again.
Look up.
