Literary (Submission): Paper Stars

Glow, ever glow
All those paper stars
That freckled the ceiling
With ethereal colours of silver and gold
Glittering with their faint light
As if they were solely shining for us

All the rows of paper stars,
That sea of light divine.
They guided us through the crevices
Between the crowd of people,
Until we found each other,
Far from the brink of parting.

Dancing beneath those paper stars
Was like holding you for the first time
Your gaze told me so much
Oh, how you held them.
Was I one of those stars
For you to look at me that way?

Glow, ever glow
Still glittering their faint light
But not afraid to shed their warmth
Are all those paper stars.
Their simple beauty,
Is forever ours to keep.
