Celeste

Celeste

born a heavenly body
not of her own,

corrupted
by a harsh world,

hiding her homeland,
looking up

to divine guidance;
starburst heart,

supernova,
her star trail aura

a light to all
doused,

she fades slowly,
blinking out

a glimmer
in a charcoal eye,

a falling comet
reduced to embers,

a dying orb
returning to a heavenly body

(April, 2016)
