Tonight The Stars Align

Writers cramp contest entry, may 4th 2026. (23 lines)

Tonight's the night
We've waited our entire lives
For this moment, for this chance

6 years since the last
11 years till the next
The stars have aligned
Towards this moment, towards this chance

Ready the rocket!
Prepare for the unknown!
Tonight we fly
Into this moment, into this chance

What's this?
We missed our deadline?
The stars no longer align?
We've missed our moment? missed our chance?

Nay, the stars will not align
Not until tomorrow
And so we wait
Waiting for our moment, for our chance

To fly into the stars
into the unknown
We will fly tomorrow
Tomorrow's moment, tomorrow's chance!
