Pile of Stars

5 1 0
                                    

Roots dark, dig deep
and drink the milk
of the river running
through the night like silk

We yawn as the tree
of the universe expands
branching out without
using any hands

Growing like leaves
the stars ignite
a passion to any
beholding their sight

Seemingly they fall
Raked in piles high
We jump in and scatter them
across the sky

And gather them back
from the edge of the yard
for the earth is a ball
in a pile of stars
