Challenge
If stars were not made of bright, gaseous flame, what might they be? Illuminate me.
Sustenance of Stars
Our love leaks through mist
that falls through the cracks
of Heaven’s tapestry of stars.
Stardust flows through veins
bleeds through heartbeats
courses through universe
like a ruffled breeze in water
hiding shyly from sunshine.
Illuminating night sky
with flashlights of peace.
Stardust sprinkles our skin
and dusts our eyelashes
links our lips with sparkles
cosmos in our crevices.
Sustenance of stars.
