Literature Text

When the star dances its last dance
and sings its ultimate tune,
a heavenly light is snuffed out,
but are our wishes finished too?

When the star takes its final bow
and makes an exit stage right,
are the spoken dreams of childhood
lost forever in the night?

When the star has been replaced,
after its supernova show,
a black hole takes the stage,
but where do our wishes go?
This poem was written using the prompt "when the stars collapse" for the Poetry Screams Prompt Contest.
