Shooting Star
New creation
Breathing breath into me
Spiraling in imagination
Endless search for patience
Anger dulls my star
Rattling bones of skeleton
And far away, I fly
π
In to outer space, I fly
Only darkness surrounds me
Flesh peels off my shifting skeleton
Exposing truth through imagination
Off I float into a star
I left, ran out of patience
π
I had no room for patience
I was convinced that I could fly
Colliding straight into a star
Nothing left of me
In peaceful bliss, imagination
Scattered in space, my skeleton
π
The earth pulls in a skeleton
Bugs eat flesh with patience
Brains lose depth and imagination
Thrown into the sky, fleshy bits fly
Devouring every inch of me
Watching closely is the star
β
Admiration from a star
Scooped by flames, my skeleton
Reforms back in to me
All that was needed was patience
To be taught how to fly
To spark imagination
β
With wild imagination
Breathed to life by a star
Finally, I could fly
My body hugged my skeleton
I flew off with patience
Nothing left of the old me
β
Created with imagination, a brand new skeleton
Stolen by a shooting star, giving nothing but patience
Spread my feathered wings and fly, creating a whole new me
