Kismet


You ponder while staring upon the shimmering stars In the dwelling of the aromatic darkness How to keep your childhood from spilling away You catch some glitter from the fallen stars and make a wish Hoping that each and every word comes true And let the thin whisper of the chilly wind to persuade you to let go The Glitter released carries the marble words It drowns in rain with swamps of silver into the stormy world It rises within a blink of an eye and leads itself to the stars There’s no turning back now The glitter is ready to embrace the world And leave behind the ashes of youth To enter the real world and do anything you’re capable of As the glitter gathers to a gold haze It’s almost mixed sparks in contrast to the stars You look up to see the glimmering radiance of the glitter And then suddenly close your eyes as raindrops come splattering Even though you are drenched in rain You know that your entire life hasn’t completely spilled away Into an edgy stream You smile as you gaze upon the star almost shining
