Like Fireflies at Nightfall

Spurring fragmented stars from their cells,
Crystalline chambers against the ebon expanse,
The elegant spread of pitch wildly rapped
As red giants burst in technicolor elegies.
Reverberate, oh Heavenly bodies! Emit thy eloquent hymn,
Alluding to omnipotence at thy nebulous cores.
May none be beauty-blind when the travesty rears:
The calamity of ruptured stars, the savagery of death-
And anon, the tranquility of sparkling darkness...
Set aflutter like fireflies at nightfall.
