CATCH A SHOOTING STAR

A beautiful star shot like a comet into my life
Brilliant white with blue sparkles of a cold stare
How fortunate to gaze at with such amazement
I had only the breath to utter a thankful prayer

Other people saw this brilliant heavenly body
Its existence was not for me and my selfish wants
I write about it, celebrate it, anything but grab it
But in my soul is where its vision continually haunts

If it was mine to have, there would be no darkness
I would keep it safe and magnificent at all times
Cherishing with loyal faith that it was made for me
And never to let go even if it burns me up inside
