Star Light

Spirally across the sky

spinning brightly as it goes

lighting up the night time

where it's going, no one knows

Strands of gold seeking space

testing out the atmosphere

as it moves across the horizon

casting patterns of light so near

Hues of reds and gold we see

spinning and pulsating along

orbiting celestial force

with a fiery tail, so strong

Moving swiftly along its course

streaks of colour across the moon

like candles flickering on by

this star light will be gone too soon
