White hot tears fall
Through this nights’
Sky

Bright streaked stains
Upon Heavens’ face

What G-d, cries so
For any such as
Us?

Tonight, I saw only sky...
through pieces of clouds.

I was happy tho, that the sky was there...

If I see anything, I'm going to accept it as my birthday candles.
Ya, right.
Maybe it's another timely warning from the sky gods that we humans are about to torch the planet with our uncontrollable hate if we don't step away from the war mentality.

Yes, Leonid even visited the city. Too bad the  city lights and the moon interfered, but I was still able to see over 30 shooting meteor lights in less than 30 minutes. Not bad for the edge of Denver.

A lovely way to put a scientific event into poetic perspective. Didn't see them here though - I WAS up at 3:30 also!
