Isn’t it peculiar that mere debris falling from the sky,
is one of the most beautiful sights in the night sky.
These space rocks, these balls of fire, wonderful sparks of light.
These meteor showers are also called shooting stars.
burning in our earth’s atmosphere before they could land on the surface.
associated with a comet or an asteroid
that apparently grants wishes.
does momentarily pull me out of the dark place
like a withered tree that stands naked during the cold winters.
clothes itself with fresh leaves and flowers during the spring.
These shooting rocks light up my blank and lifeless eyes.
and fill my sinking heart with joy
