If All The Stars

If all the stars fell from the sky

If they scattered the ground and escaped the night

If the sky turned dark without any light

If the earth picked up the stars and threw them high


Would the stars go back into space

Would the stars get back in their place

Or would the stars come falling back down

Leaving the night sky bare, and covering the ground


Pieces of light falling from a black night

Illuminating the earth and the path where we step

The stars sparkling bright, such a beautiful sight

Never to return up to the sky


Author's Note:

This was written after a young girl inquired, "What would happen if the stars fell from the sky, and scattered on the ground?"
