Selfless Life

 

 

 ☆☆☆☆☆☆☆

As night time grew she'd fade away,

Into the moonlit skies,

She looked for something deeper than 

A soul in someone's eyes.

 ☆☆☆☆☆☆☆

Stars fallen made the craters 

In the valleys where she dwelled,

And as she flew with lightning speed,

With them she feared she'd meld.

 ☆☆☆☆☆☆☆

Through time and space velocity

Had wrecklessly prevailed,

The spirits of those fallen stars,

Had pierced her heart with nails.

 ☆☆☆☆☆☆☆

Unbeknownst to her 

Their bleeding embers fell like tears,

And trailed behind her stealthily

Like long forgotten years.

 ☆☆☆☆☆☆☆

The Aeons vacuum sucked her in,

Infusing what was lost,

Around the Earth just one last time,

To satisfy the cost.

 ☆☆☆☆☆☆☆

With open eyes she landed down

Wrapped up in threads of gold,

Looked up to find the night had left her

With a gift that would unfold.

 ☆☆☆☆☆☆☆

A catcher of the dreams that died,

Of many ages past,

The scar burnt to fruition now,

Her path was carved at last.

 ☆☆☆☆☆☆☆

The cold and empty hearts in death,

Whose light dimmed from the skies,

Became the light that shone so bright,

Inside of her own eyes.

 ☆☆☆☆☆☆☆

And night time never was the same,

As old dreams weaved their way,

Into the magic that we see

In children's eyes today.

☆☆☆☆☆☆☆
