Stardust

By Molee Banka

In the velvet sky, a streak of light,

A shooting star, so brief and bright.

Like Shona, my best friend, so dear,

Entered swiftly, filled with cheer.

Brightening days with love and grace,

Equivalent to a brother, in every embrace.

But like the star, too soon to fade,

Leaving memories that never evade.

In the deep grief, I find solace,

And the love we shared, in every embrace.

Though brief your stay, forever you'll be,

My shooting star, shining eternally.
