Star From A Far
The Rarity Known as a Shooting Star
With my head tilted upward, I look to the sky. Where everything flies high, rarity meets my eye.
Miles into space is where this rare gem flew from a far. High and behold this rarity is a shooting star.
Moving at high velocity, this unique cosmic bird passes its stand still neighbors with such ferocity.
The shooting star always stands out. Among it’s motionless siblings it is the moving odd man out.
To the rest of the Galaxy a shooter star is merely a flying spec of dust, but for the eyes of humanity seeing it is a must.
So beautiful in the night. Flying across the darkness of the cosmos it shines so bright.
If there is anything to take from this, treasure the rare shooting star and if you ever see one, make a wish.
