Stardust

We are made of the stars .

Some of us are here , standing still , content to
                    twinkle and shine.

            Some of us are fading into the backdrop of darkness ,
 our light the glow of a candle.

Some of us have scattered light ,
            a luminara with pinpoints here and there.

                And some of us
 are shooting out across the Universe
                       like Wildfire
       searching for whatever makes us shine . . .
