A Star Fell

A star fell from heaven 
and lit up the night
with crystalline diamonds 
and ribbons of light.

It sped as it sparkled 
with silver and gold
through moonbeams’ sheer magic; 
a sight to behold.

In silence and wonder 
we watched as it spread
across its dark course 
dazzling colors of red.

It happens quite often 
but only by chance,
that moment together 
we watched the sky dance.
