I See Stars Dying

Beyond the fallen and the starlit sky

Oh, the sky!

Vast expanses of, multitudes of, dreams enveloping every vision

Shooting across, visible only for a second's eye

On the horizon sits, resting, a little home of humble natures

When smells evoke blissful sighs

Longing, anticipation, only lifts you higher

Sit and watch the colours like you

Sway, buzz, in the swift winds

Don't hesitate, join in, in reckless dance

Someone awaits your return

Now it's all smudged out, that little spot

Washed away by the storms, peeled by the sun's heat

If it dissipated with the morning mist, where will you hide?

Stand out in the cold, waiting, waiting

Looking up with a strain of the neck

Only to find it ashen all above

Not an earthshine of comfort

The same smells now wrack you full with pain

Longing kills

And you've, never

Seen a shooting star before

We outgrew our little homes saying

I'll make my own

Yet now we wander

With nowhere to go

Only wishing

Once more, wishing

On a dying star

this could quite possibly work well for spoken word
