“A Star Beyond The Night”

A sapling and the warm sun collide like two shooting stars at dawns break.
They gather together in the market of memories.
Limbs growing and intertwine while a whisper breaks in a silent world.
Like two flames in an endless night, enraptured and mesmerized by the candle’s first flicker.
They become like two fireflies in the darkness of night.
Then a shadow created a wall between two flames.
The sun chased the horizon across the plains,
A tree far off in the distance.
The footsteps on the shoreline begin to fade.
The lights begin to dim in the distance.
But the star still shines, even after death.
