Star Dust

we dreamed for a tomorrow
like we tossed glitters in the air
just to cast stars so close at hand.
we gazed at the floating colors,
danced to their silent melodies
and spilled all our hopes
from a bottle left ajar.
But when these paper-star bits
landed like dust in the ground,
distant stars painted in the skies
flickered in multiples
with tears in our eyes.
