Stardust

Starlight, stardust shining brightly

glistening twinkling glittery

setting the dark skies alight

giving a perfect backlight

passionately runs riot 

brimful and without limit

starlight, stardust shining brightly

glistening twinkling glittery

The late Hoagy Carmichael wrote and recorded an immortal song with the same title. Reading your work reminded me a bit of the lyrics.
