My sister gave me a necklace with a symbol of the Seven Sisters Constellation (Pleiades), and I looked up some of the mythology.

Seven sisters, ever running, ever crying...tears of beauty, pearls of light up in the sky
There’s strong Orion, in pursuit across all time, wielding arrows, at once so close and far behind
And a world of hopeful dreamers looking into the night, casting their wishes to these lights
And all those sisters, ever frenzied in their flight, never notice all those dreamers in the night
Here in quiet futility, I cast my own wish on Pleiades
That all I now believe won’t prove to be pathetic fallacy


Fragile balance between hope and fantasy...naïve notions of how life’s supposed to be
I stand idle, pondering mythology, strain my eyes…where does that vanishing point lead?
So much there beyond my periphery, so much hurt outside of what I choose to see
And all the wisdom of the ages can’t explain why things happen time and time and time and time again
Still, in my futility, I will cast this wish on Pleiades
That all I now believe won’t prove to be pathetic fallacy
