The Fallen Star

Half the moon sits aloft the Jovian star
Its other half away in green pastures far
She sat leaning ‘neath the peering lights
That ever pervade such provoking nights
Are they dim, or are they bright
Small in stature or stood upon dizzying heights
From where she sat it was hard to tell
Then suddenly one fell

She traced it by its silver tail
As it illumed the hanging clouds
Then streaked across the glooming dale
Revealing the wandering shrouds

It tumbled down and out of sight
In a spiraling trail of rainbow light

"illumed" is now in my bag of words. Obviously, there is illuminate, but illume gives flexibility where syllable count is important. Your imagery and flow is pleasant as always.
