Starlight Book

The sacred temple rises
in the star-strewn land,
its crystal walls shimmering
with serene light.

Within the temple lies
a mysterious treasure—
a chest of stardust specks,
turning into shimmering pearls,
one at a time.

Starlight butterflies flutter
in and out of the temple,
carrying precious pearls
and dropping them gently
into my hands.

I thread the pearls into strings
and scatter them across the pages—
they dance into words.
The words bloom into verses,
and now the book is complete.

As above, so below.
The dream-book,
made of stardust and starlight,
is here.
