Replying to a comment on:

The stars are out early Shining brightly in the sky Sprinkling their stardust Down upon you and I Golden glitter pours As the stars twinkle above Casting an enchanted glow On our endless love The sun still casts its light Down upon the world At your gentle touch The wings of love are unfurled As the sun sets slowly Painting a rainbow in the sky Stars sprinkle stardust Down upon you and I

You know what I think is genius? How you've given a poem exactly the same name as one of the most famous songs of all time, yet your poem and the song are so dissimilar. I mean, check out these lyrics from the original:

And now the purple dusk of twilight time
Steals across the meadows of my heart
High up in the sky the little moon starts to climb
Always reminding me that we're apart
You wandered down the lane and far away
Leaving me a song that will not die
Love is now the stardust of yesterday
The music of the years gone by

Sometimes I wonder why I spend
a lonely night dreaming of a song
The melody haunts my reverie,
and I am once again with you
When our love was new
and each kiss an inspiration
But that was long ago,
now my consolation is in the stardust of a song.

Beside a garden wall,
when stars are bright,
you are in my arms
The nightingale tells his fairy tale
Of paradise where roses grew
Though I dream in vain,
in my heart it will remain
My stardust melody,
The memory of love's refrain

Is there any point on which your poem didn't take a new and astonishing direction? No! Not a one! Beautiful. -10-
