fallen stars

shifting hues of sapphire and lilac

melding into heavens of night

moonlight showering upon freckles

fabricated with fallen stars

crickets chirping in midnight’s melody

two frames lying on dewed grass

drops of water weaving and

petrichor dancing in butterscotch hair

shared jokes and giggles filling the air

sparrows dreaming in homespun nests

pale arms stretching up above

desperate to brush celestial constellations

falling several light years short

shooting stars carrying hopeful wishes

across breath-taking skies
