Stars spilled across the sky like so much candy.  
The Milky Way as M&Ms, not Mars.  
The latter would have surely come in handy  
if God had filled the sky with chocolate bars,  
but as it is the stars hide deeper flavors,  
though color's a predictor of their heat.  
Is there a special kind that God most favors?  
A peanut butter star, won't that be neat?  
A happy, carefree child, God splashed his laughter  
as tiny specks of light across the void,  
with utter disregard for the hereafter,  
but strict instructions: it's to be enjoyed!  
Best rush to taste this multi-splendored feast.  
A fire soon consumes it from the East.
