Once you stood among the throng,
celebrating life by drinking up the sun.
Even then, in your commonality,
you were the stuff of sustenance.
You played your part and did your time,
as age graced you with beauty.
In the brilliance of your mortality,
you became, a falling star.
Author notes
Stars are classified by their spectra (the elements that they absorb) and their temperature. Leaves absorb(capture) the energy and light of the sun, thus I came by my title.
