unmindful night will follow day,

The message and rhyme scheme work hand in hand and there are no dust-ups (except man and womankind) in this splendid write. To paraphrase your rhymes; 'let us trust in more than dust after we turn to rust.' Your poet notes are informative and wonderfully detailed!

Phenomenal imagery, you've captured some beautiful words every line is captivating exploration into the life of stars. I love the celestial nature of this poem, its not often writers truly explore the cosmic canvass of the brilliance of stellar matter. I love the recurring theme in the lines of dust to dust, even stars for all their brilliance are like all life finite creations. We are all star dust. Magnificent poem well chosen for POTD!

Within the poem's form is set the day-to-day humanity together with the thoughts and dreams and finally the.wonderful image of stellar dust. The adherence to the form of the Rondeau adds power to this poem.
