Stardust

As I sat in the dark

waiting for the spark

of a deepnight of slumber

A star came inside

my window to hide

behind my curtain with friends in large numbers

My room filled with light

eyes closed, it’s too bright

I feel like I’m in danger

Bur the first said “hey,

it’ll all be okay”

and smiled like a friend, not a stranger

She flew in a dash

Giving my eyes a splash

Of all her childlike wonder

My heart filled with joy

That this wasn’t some ploy

And we danced, never wanting to be asunder
