We were all put on this love to care and love about one another; not to hate, belittle and destroy each other.

Stars at night
Dance amongst the lamps at nigh
The stars will fall into step with you
Look to your partner in awe as stars gather on their body
Dance with starlight illuminating every essence
Twirl into the wind
Spirit and mind in tune with rhythm 
Prints left only to be packed by repetition
Lungs chilled, skin freezing
Glide across glass
Stars twirl with you 
Arms in the sky
Grasping for what little protection stars give
Only to land amongst them
Rise from them
Battling ones falling
Only to glide through their bombard
Catching more
Melting them away
Never to see them the same
