Celestial War

Celestial War

twilight dawns, the stars awaken
the sun tired of out
shining their rays
retires for the night
taking a break, while the stars shine regardless
they sit there still, quiet illuminating the sky
but every once in awhile they get excited
rushing through space and time to tell everyone
from earth we view it as a shooting star.
But the celestial beings know better
they realize it as their mode of communication
being the kinds souls they are
they humor the mortals and themselves
letting them believe what they want
occasionally therein slips a trickstar
stirring up trouble from its peaceful slumber
knocking other beings off balance, killing a few
making the beings realize,
realize that they are not as immortal as they seem
causing the lesser mortals to despair, panic
the ones who awaken trouble soon see the error of their ways
when brother chaos arrives
trouble was nothing until chaos
and with chaos comes sister death
the mischievous few cause the demolition of many
turning from a ripple to a tidal wave
trouble, chaos, and death, the family of three
reign on high for a season
soon destruction becomes old
and cousin boredom comes to stay
eventually the family falls asleep
and cousin boredom moves on
the celestial plane is recovered, peace has returned
the one who started it all remains silent, plotting his next adventure
waiting for an opportunity to awaken trouble and start the process again
