Stardust

A glowing star, burns bright and fast

Dies in explosive finale

Leaving stardust in its chilled wake

Swirling in timeless dances.

Until such time passes, stardust

Clumps together forming new things

New stars, planets, new everything.

A pattern, never ending.

I see you there, near midnight's shroud

Heralded by a shooting star

To mark your importance to me

The sign that I've been waiting for.

To kiss your lips, is to taste stardust fair.

For a thousand stars died to make you mine.
