Suppose all the stars
Had descended from the sky
And fallen to the earth
To live amongst the world
.
They had come down
In flashes of light
As comets
Shedding their light
Throughout
The stratosphere
.
When they reached the ground
They covered their heads
Pretended there was nothing to see
And began to work
Among the common man
.
They created miracles
Thin fingers
Pulling silver
Into thin wires
Voices creating songs
Unimaginable
.
People said
The stars were angels
Fallen to heaven
Not people
Fleeing the path of a dark hole
.
They all seemed
Perfect and delicate
Innocent
And pure
But on Earth
That reserve fell away
And they fell
Into the troubles
Of the common man
.
Wickedness
And despair
Crowded into the space
In their hearts
Where starlight was keep
And brought out that light
A blown out candle in the dark
Blinding them
To life as
The once-star
.
Now they wander about
With amnesia
Of their past
All acting
Like the humans
Around them
And not remembering
Life as a star
Who they are
And what they can really be
