Last Words of a Fading Star
Hung above hopeful hearts, so wise
Watching over sparkly eyes
Of faithful lovers on rooftops
Telling promises and vows
Or innocent children of pure souls
Sending up prayers out windows
Hoping I’ll shine answers back down —
An energy converted, never lost
As I return their brightness, worlds crossed
In the few moments their lives occupy
My core burns with passion stored by
Memories of mortals I embrace
The hopeful gaze on their face
Then soil swallows them again
From Earth and back to it, amen
But now comes my time to fade back
Into dust floating in the black
Exploding emotions built up diffuse
Particles for a new astral body to use
But worry not, dear dreamers pledding
Your dreams are safe and tame
In my stellar cloud endlessly spreading
Watching over you just the same
