Crashing down are the illusions,
The stars in the sky are our souls' mirrors.
Falling, making contusions,
Nothing on earth is clear.
Shady and blanketed with everlasting space,
Burning balls of gas
In one huge fireplace
Refecting our lifes' trash.
Illusions of happiness
Dance in the stars
As we reach for them
To cover up the scars
That we have made on this earth.
