Flicker

Stars
They may seem eternal
Slow
Long and strong though they burn
Still take their turn
And long after they die
In our night sky
Beautiful they shine
The sun is down
But the light still shines
Golden and rose
In your eyes

Spring
Leaves once green now golden
Fall
In these winds of autumn
But they dance
In the breeze
Final moments
Still free
And coals still glow
Warm in the night
After the last
Flame dies

The sun is down
But the light still shines
Golden and rose
In your eyes

And coals still glow
Warm in the night
After the last
Flame dies
