A shooting star a wish in movement cuts the night the fire in the sky sheet flame like waves meets in a ballet of heat and soundless noise the song of the vacuum plays the cry of the mute death in zero gravity the mind is swept along in the currents of the night far from home they perish Light year on Light year fill the nothingness making tangible dangers that were once the dreams are they alone nay they take the hope They take the dreams of all those they protect They stand before the future cutting a path into the night sky memories of home the bait driving the heroes onward yet still they end in flashs of the Blue Red death the dragons fire from enemies older than time From beyond memory they forged their way through the blood of the weak now we meet it is really A night like no other "Mother is the word for god on the hearts and lips of children everywhere" Brandon Lee THE CROW |

W.P.* This is truely haunting and deep your poetry dives much deeper than the surface. A shooting star a wish in movement cuts the night the fire in the sky They take the dreams of all those they protect They stand before the future cutting a path into the night sky You have a gift, I'm so glad you are sharing it with us. Thank you. |

If you're gone - maybe it's time to go home There's an awful lot of breathing room But I can hardly move If you're gone - baby you need to come home cuz there's a little bit of something me...
