Stellar!

🌟 Stars are not like us. They live in a different reality. This poem records one earthling's serenade to these bona fide glitterati. 🌟

A world so diff'rent

A land so distant

A kingdom divided 

Yet somehow united.

No flash of renown

Terrestrial town

Found to catch

Or match

The lore or yore

Of your

Celestial crown.

Fans of fame

Fan the flame

Stand in stands

Cheer the game

And chase they

Who claim acclaim.

But in view of you

It's just not the same.

Like golden glitter 

And glamor

I behold then wither

And stammer.

Effervescent luminescence

Transcends men's ken

And grammar

And all for which

They clamor.

In the end

After the wind

Lie the jewels

Of men

Who ruled.

Celebs do ebb

Scenes on screens

Fade to black

Just like that.

None can compare

To the rarefied air

Of your stellar lair

Way up there

Or the luster

Of your cluster.

I can only muster

This amazed gaze

And stare.
