Eleg

Stardust is falling

From the nighttime sky

Twinkling in the atmosphere

Like their predecessor

It's a beautiful red

Bright and pure

Deeper than that of the blood in our veins

It mingles in the air

Like cobwebs that have fallen from space

They mix and mingle and intertwine

With the rich shade of blue known as moondust

In the fall they combine and combust

Popping and sparking and pulsing

Gliding to the ground like ashes

There, they settle

Like a blanket of snow

Where they sow their seeds and seep

Into the ground below our feet

Sinking like that of water

And from the ground

Where they had lain

Bloomed a beautiful flower of purple-

Opening only in that of night

In honor of which they were born
