Stardust

Stardust.

Rarer than the rarest metal,

More precious than a simple ‘must’.

Its light pierces the darkest nights,

Healing and destroying at its user’s will.

Hope and despair aligned.

Stardust,

Synonymous to a fallen star.

Punishment is its descent.

I’ve heard that it is awe-inspiring,

But for me it inspires sadness.

Sadness that something so beautiful, so wondrous,

Had been banished from where angels reside.
