Twinkle Forever (Villanelle)
Stars like candles bathe the dark night
A sea of silver over the mystic sky
Twinkle forever with your glittering light
The blossom of sequins after twilight
Like the eyes of many, they cease to cry
Stars like candles bathe the dark night
Flames so afar, yet seem so bright
To touch each one, my desire to fly
Twinkle forever with your glittering light
Burning from the heavens, standing firm in sight
Luminary points, the earth will not sigh
Stars like candles bathe the dark night
Glow from a distance, with all your might
To the universe above you are tied
Twinkle forever with your glittering light
Without you, the world in fright
Within the dark, do not ever die
Stars like candles bathe the dark night
Twinkle forever with your glittering light
