A Fallen Star

As she departs from her fellow luminates
she falls graciously from heaven to earth,
leaving behind past life's reminants,
traveling slowly to a place of Rebirth.

She resides in the darkness,
as the telescopes search for her ever changing position,
she soars across the sky, fearless.
No telescope can track her ambition.

She gradually drifts out of view,
but her remains still sparkle in the sky.
The telescopes can stil see her, but those who look become few.
She may be gone, but the spot she held will never die.

The lucky, unsuspecting astronomers who viewed her grace
will never find another star who will ever take her place.
