One star twinkling in the sky
All the others together in their colonies
Throwing each other out until they find the brightest star
As they shoot down twinkling, slowly getting dimmer
until that one star's light is completely gone.
The remaining stars lights getting brighter as this happens
They invite the next brightest star into their colony
Over and over repeating this situation.
The stars getting thrown out and giving up.
The people on the ground
Making a wish upon the star that is shooting down
Maybe just giving it enough hope to go back up into the sky
Lifting the star up and giving it another chance to be the brightest.
