Fallen Stars
fallen stars
like falling stars
fading souls appear to be
as they depart from this earth
to experience
their bright and streaming light
in their prime
their brilliance amazes
and overwhelms me
their absence leaves me
alone and grief stricken
yet grateful for all of
the beauty they
brought to my existence
fallen stars
shall I never
forget your
translucent
illumination
until my own
final hours
