Starlight

She's so bright.
The light, it's everywhere.
Blinding.
Shadows fall across her.
They cling to her.
Like tar, she can't cut it away.
Stifling.
The light fades.
Cooling.
She chips at it.
Slowly.
She tires.
Hands surround, holding her high.
As long as it takes.
As long as they're needed.
Brilliance returns.
She's so bright.
