Can the night be any more beautiful?

Always changing and shifting

Like the waves on the ocean

If the stars could talk, what would they say?

Go forth among us, among the stars and shadows,

Over the dusted fields of time and space,

Run like a wolf, fly like a crow.

Iridescent drops once fell from the stars

Overlapping worlds, creating a dance that

Never stopped to wonder what the worlds thought

Never ceasing to amaze, a firefly foxtrot

Again and again, they dance, little fallen stars

Glowing carefree unafraid of this cold world,

And never leaving the flightless ones behind,

Not even when the wind blew them apart
