When Stars Fall

In the day we lived
The fond fell proud
To deep falling, night was the sky
Where the flickered out star
Fell to light the life in our eyes
And so to collapse in flight
Where we stood that night.

What then do stars do?
They take up a hope
To fly, to fall
When tattered shapes of edges soften
So does the gaze that your stars give
Still lingering time
What time is there to linger?

When the sky fell
We welcomed the eternal unhinged reality
Above our heads
Soaring higher to lift beyond the world
That we could only live in once
And so, to live forever.
Fall, said the stars,

Fall in love, they said.
