Fallen Star

Inspired by Neil Gaiman�s �Stardust�

Did anyone see where that star went?
Mark my words they´re falling one by one
Catch while you still can your glimpses
Now wait, does the rum just have me out of my senses?

Melancholy strains of music drift to my ears
Singing to me while I gaze up at moonlit sky
A tear shed for each star´s demise
And a chuckle for every one of Gaiman´s delights.

Soon their last will shimmer and fade to dust
They will be forever lost to all our world´s eyes.
Mourned by lost sailors and dismal brides
The night clouds will then have nothing to hide.
