You
are magnificent
a blazing light
shooting across
a dark sky
giving those
who catch a
glimpse
of your fading
brilliance
such false hope

Alas, you are but
a falling meteoroid
with a short-lived
trail of light.

Love the metaphoric switch of
wishing upon a falling star
only to know that it was only just a falling, burning rock, after all.
Kudos,
Jeff

Thanx Faith.

Thanx Lori, always a pleasure.

Ah, indeed. Wishing upon a rock makes no sense, but it gives some people great joy. Theres no doubt though that it is a beautiful thing to witness. Thanx Jeff

Thanx LateA.

Ah,

Thanx so much Garapan.

A disenchanted way to see the phenomen. As I am a romantic stargazer, the flashlike passage of a meteor remains a wondrous spectacle in the nightsky ... even a fraction of a second can imprint eternal beauty on the canvas of my soul.

But I do understand your point of view. Well done.

Love,
Margherita

Be thankful for every person who has caused you pain. In that moment, they became your assistant of growth.

..i don't know much about meteors
.. but the poem works; it rises like a wave,
lifting one lyrically; then, it settles
down effortlessly..>>spiros

There is a fatalistic element to this that cannot be missed. I think the contrast with the brilliant flare of initial hope and inspiration is a perfect let down. May all such disillusionment be so lovely!

I guess we all have to face reality at times but the beauty of a dream is something in itself.
