End of an Era
Little drops of light fall down from the sky
They start as a light pitter-patter
Then rain down heavily from on high
The sky is alight with the colours of change
And where the light lands
The darkness is pushed back out of range
Mother, father,
Sister and brother
Open their eyes
And see the darkness being chased away
Faces turn to the sky in wonder
The light begins to fade
Darkness rushes back in again
Then the first star falls.
It is followed by another
Then another
And another
Soon the stars have chased the dark away
The night sky looks empty
Empty
Without the light of its stars
But with the rising crescendo of hope
The stars explode into existence
In the sky
One after another
And comets race eachother across the starry sky
Leaving blazing trails of glory
It was the end of an era...
... and the beginning of a new one.

End of an Era
PuisiKinda poetry (loosely) but more just a scene I see playing out in my mind in a fantasy world story.
