Son of Twin Suns

01

By David Hurtado

The Son of Twin Suns trades sand dunes for starlight.

His farm boy naivete laid to rest with aunt and uncle.

He walks across the sky toward a shadow in the dark.

To save what was stolen with thunderous applause.

Heir to a haunted legacy stained by terrible loss.

 

A lone flicker who dares defy an almighty empire.

Bound to a fool's gambit with the broken and brave.

Yet shoulder to shoulder they confront a mighty host.

At the twilight of the rebellion or dawn of a new hope.​

Many give their last breaths for this last-ditch stand.

 

Until he alone holds the light against the dark.

But the Old Hermit's words lend him their strength.

Let go. Trust your feelings. So he does.

And thus fear wrought in iron comes unmade.

Consumed by the brilliance of a man-made sun.
