Speckled silver dewdrops;
luminescent in life
yet destructive in death.
Strewn upon silky sewn sky;
Diamond-inlaid deities
of ephemeral eventide.
Stuck in stagnant freeze;
Existing in exertion
of perceived resplendence.
Sterling spheres lay static;
Playful companions
in heaven’s heart-scape.
Author notes
Stars and Sky
So bright in life,
But cold in death,
Comprised of stuffs,
Contained in breath.
An attempt to capture the celestial.

Wow, I'm completely taken away by this poem. The imagery is just incredible, the stars really are something to be admired, and I believe that you do them justice. I live in a city, too and so it's very rare that I can see the stars clearly. But this reminds me of nights in the country ♥

Thanks!
I'm glad you enjoyed my piece. I hope that you can take something away from it. I live near a major city so because of the light pollution I can't see any stars. Whenever I get a chance to go out into the country I always take a moment to take in the night sky. Truly, life seems crisper outside of the city. I fear people don't know what they are missing. All I can do is try to capture a piece of the sky and share it with everyone hoping that someone will come out to find more.
Thanks for commenting.
Good luck with judging. There's a lot of talent out there.
