The Tears of Stars

I marvel at the tears of stars
that loudly blush as they pass Mars

Toward earth they fall in streams of dust
on cosmic winds that swirl and gust

No doubt it seems a madman’s tale
a rotund lie of cosmic scale

I ask you though, with much chagrin
please wake that child that naps within

Though hard to see with grownup eyes
The puerile heart unveils their guise

Near tranquil ponds where sorrow feeds
they land and spark among the reeds
