Premium Member A SHOOTING STAR AT CHRISTMAS
Walking early in the morning along the waning edges of a silent night I saw the flash of a shooting star under the full moon shining bright. And I thought how Christmas is like that star across the sky I saw soar over in an instant…and each one a little different than the one before. It’s a moment if...

Shooting Star
Attractive and luminous, Burning on your golden path Like an adamant against the sun. Symbolising every entity, Caught up in spontaneity Perusing the conscientious. Uninspired to aspire Yet inspiring the phenomenal, As they claim all of what you grant. During your death, they wield smiles Making wishes of a lifetime While you dance in cosmic time. ...

“Some people are like shooting stars. They burst through our lives in a spectacular arc, but they don't stay long. They just leave a trail.” - Erica Orloff, Illuminated Stars doubt the night Will the moon be quiet? Will the owl screech loudly? Will the forest soften its shadows? Will the autumn color it all? Will the darkness feel too small? Will...

Premium Member AN OWL, A MAGNOLIA TREE AND ME
I stopped to admire the stars this morning long before my walk was through. When the moon has set and the sky is clear it’s something I often do. As I stood there gazing up…there…in the blink of an eye I saw a shooting star streak across the sky. I often look for shooting stars and, I imagine, you’ll...

A tombstone is my thought, I made my tomb out of thoughts I knitted my shroud from hundreds of ideas And out of sadness I finished my coffin. I buried myself in the sunrise When no one was outside Just me, a small and insignificant creature I was cooling my feet in death. I wandering with the shadow of the spirit, the moon I...

Tell you this again, When you see A shooting star, Someone loves you, Someone tells you “Eat chocolates” Offer jewelry, Think of me, then, Pineapple flavors, Mango flavors, On a distant island There is happiness, Tell you this again When you see A shooting star, There’s someone who loves you. Dites-vous ceci, Quand vous voyez Une étoile filante, Quelqu’un vous aime, Quelqu’un vous dit Mangez des chocolats Offrez des bijoux, Pensez à moi, alors, Parfum d’ananas, Parfum de mangue, Sur une...

The brightest star up in the sky, your blazing entry caught my eye. You gave your all to be so bright, to streak across the sky tonight. Your light is bright from head to tail, and you can grant wishes as well. You must wonder as you fly by, if I’m the answer to your why. Drawn here tonight I guess for...

Shooting Star Serenade
She is my whole galaxy, A vast expanse of love and light, I swim within her starry depths, And bask in her celestial might. But I was her shooting star, A fleeting moment in the night, A brilliant flash that left her heart, With a bittersweet delight. I long to be her supernova, To set...

A Wish Come True
In the dark of night I seen a light Was it a Star from a far? Or a Planet? Or another sun? And as I learned, Could it be When time begun? You see they say If you look to a Certain way Through the universe, What you may See is times course. Or is it A Rock, shooting across the sky, To make a wish from? As you watch it...

Elegy To the Uyghur Khaganate
O Glorious and Wise Empire of the East Slaughtered by cold winter’s wrath and the azure dragon For this world had no place to lay your gentle head Your monasteries of light now some mists of black soot Your masterful art now mere fragments burned by flames Your songs to the sun and moon now...

Shooting Star
In the dark sublime You're the shooting star Healing grim moments Like receding glacier Oh shooting star You're hope to the stoic Joy to the despondent Lighting darkest nights You're the warm fire Burning hearts with desire Shooting shivers in solar systems Leaving goosebumps in many galaxies Your fascinations shoot arrows Straight through hearts With unconstrained desire After your beautiful constellation Oh shooting star You long...

The Shooting Star
Deep in the village, far from city's charm and gleam, Primitive childhood days, with toys of mud we’d dream, Swinging on tall tree branches, our airplanes up the skyways, Butt scooting down the anthills, our high-end cars on highways. Once a moonlit night so clear, with dazzling constellations afar Would unveil a gem so rare, the SHOOTING STAR, The stellar herald,...

Come, My Shooting Star
Come, my shooting star, Open my door, As the night is so long in your absence, Come, my sweet dove, Open my poem, As my verses are so sad, in your absence, Come, my silk angel, Spread your wings, To take me to the sky of Sicily tomorrow, Come, my zither, come, Open your music, The one, the only one, that makes my heart vibrate...

I Am a Passersby
I am not a wandering star whom the dark gloom envelopes I am not a cloud empty of tears and blown by barren winds I am not a wild wave on the sea foaming up saliva I am not an autumn tree empty handed and cut down I am a cloud-topped tree flowing with honey in my veins...
