Fallen Stars
By Paul Wilson


Darkness envelops shining light
another star will fall tonight
Stars fall never making a sound
kings they once were, each with a crown

Many fallen will rise again
will this roller coaster ride end
Another star was born tonight
sadly one must fade out of sight

How many more stars will be lost
living too fast they pay the cost
Self destruction they face each night
printed each day in black and white

Young and old no preference in choice
silence broken by strangers voice
Another star will fall tonight
losing battle fought in spot light

New band plays on to crowds delight
Another show tomorrow night
A new star will begin his fight
replacing one that fell last night

Like a flickering candle light
another star fades out of sight
Curtain closes, exit stage right
Tears close the show, last one tonight

~~~

Dedicated to all the stars of stage and screen
Who one day must realize their star no longer burns

(big hugggsssssssss) Yet it is somewhat rewarding when a star has a good share of fame then decides to step down as it gives another a chance to shine as there is much young talent out there! (sigh) God Bless You, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Paul, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton
