Stardust Sailing

A crumbling star spirals into dust,
Sailing on the air's wings, traveling above.
A star, once whole, is a pretty state,
Until something breaks.
Bit by bit, the pieces get carried away,
Flying along with the wind.
Farther and farther the pieces go,
Likely failing to become a new whole.
Across the wind, stardust flies,
Shrinking the star from its whole.
Filling the wind with its crumbling bits,
Stardust scatters in the wind.
