Star Fall

Unified beneath the dome of star studded sky,
man lies starring at stars fixed or falling.
We wonder who has tossed these gems aside. 

Most singular He who has let these fly
toward unknown destinations calling,
unified beneath the dome of star studded sky.

From California's forest gazers cry
with ahh's and ohh's as they lie sprawling, 
we wonder who has tossed these gems aside.

Shooting star have bewitched fair Holland's sky
and danced to drums in Africa brawling,
unified beneath the dome of star studded sky

From mighty Perseus they oft seem to fly
like fishermen we sit, glow lights trawling,  
we wonder who has tossed these gems aside.

That the heaven rains for all, none can deny
a gift of bold beauty mankind's calling.
Unified beneath the dome of star studded sky
we wonder who has tossed these gems aside.
