The stars are falling
Wake up my friend
This be no day to slumber
this be a day to keep wake and watch
for the world we knew has come undone
Alas the stars once we knew in innocence
And knew still when the tide was high
Aye, the stars of yore and then
which once sent silver blades of light
shining into a world of dark silence
to fill the lungs of the nightingale
with songs of love and hope
and point our way to a place where dreams come alive
the stars which once told our stories
and kept the demons in gehena's bay
the stars that whispered into the night
across time's circling silky road
to remind the bleeding soldier in war's fields
we are not alone even in pain's iron hold
the stars we once knew and gazed aloft
these stars are falling can't you see?
These stars are falling, falling my friend
One by one do they fade and fall
going out on the beaches of a dying earth. (C) Henry Akuete 2019
