Tears Of The Stars (Metaphor Poem)

Stars of the tears of the sun and moon,
The cold raindrops that seemed to loom,
The tingling of flowers ready to bloom,
The mist from an ancient, musty perfume,
The tears of the new bride and groom,
The twinkling lights that brighten a room,
The snowflakes that fall in the middle of June.
Stars are the joy in everyone's eyes,
The smell of freshly baked homemade pies,
The embroidered butterflies on a ballet costume,
The smile of the sun on a hot afternoon,
The excited girl knowing her birthday is soon,
The Sparks of flame as a fire goes boom,
The feeling when you can finally let the movie resume,
The soft feathers of an ostrich plume,
The sweet song of fairies, perfect in tune.
