Starlight

Dust from a million years,

Swept from heaven’s beams,

Sprinkling earth with gems

Bestowed from long and far.

Property of galaxies distant,

Waged war on gravity,

Pulled and pushed

To release here below,

Crowning hair

And mountaintops,

Oceans playful, sparkling tips.

Reflected in eyes

Loved by luminescence.
