Your Arcane And Restless Journey

Stellars so bright and so many
  Generations of eyes fascinated with augury
Pillars behind the moonlight so plenty
  Constellation of dyes adulated with sobriety

 
When you were young and gazing at countless stars
  Year after year never slept at night without litted scars
Scars of night's canvass of twinkling lights
  Pulsars beeping in the midst of darkest sights

Now that everybody has grown old
  Asking why many stars have gone so cold
Where did most stellars hide and go?
  Wondering why they disappeared and said "No"

Above the places where you grew up stargazing
  Below are spotlights of people's wishful thinking
Now that you've aged and started recollecting 
  Bow and applaud yourself...
You survived even without dreaming!
