The Day the Stars Fled (by Olivia)

 What a breathtaking sight to behold, 

When the lights seem to flourish and return from their daylight disguise,

As a lifelong adventure could dare to unfold,

The endless world of glowing orbs seemed to arise.

It is the sight that leaves the world at its rest,

The glimpses sailors gaze upon as they lay for slumber,

How beautiful those stars had looked as they soared to the west,

And only the conscious souls left to stare up in wonder.

Flurries of stardust scattered the land,

How frivolous the world felt upon their flight,

Soul fragments of the celestial bodies meeting towards the sand,

Had inspired the earth's radiance, with a luminosity ever so bright.

For the stars had discovered their escape to another world,

A realm so foreign to their heavenly aura,

The way it conducted their route as they swirled,

As they began their dispersal among the many growing flora.

The others would describe their ways similar to a jet,

For the manner in which the divine world glowed was beyond what the eye could see,

And the people observing would never forget,

The day the stars fled from the skies to the sea.
