Shooting star (quickmakeawish)

—Bacil Donovan Warren

And there it goes, a shooting star,

All bright and burning fast

A comet fragment, travelled far—

And relic from the past.

One more streaks by and you point out

The flicker we watch fade,

It disappears, and then you pout;

Your gentle heart, betrayed.

I know that look, the one you wear

The gleaming in your eye,

Your broken soul is lying bare

And exposed to the sky.

You and the comet are alike

In many ways, you see:

A billion mile starlight hike

Has brought you both to me.

I stare into that dark beyond

And contemplate the two—

Two beauties, which a breaking spawned—

A light show; and, a you.
