firefly burns across the sky
so brief your light in a vast still night
where ancient fires glow from age- longs ago
where planets vie to be a glint in the eye
the verging tear, the latent smile
hearts drawn near, the withered miles
that kept them...somehow, passions mend
against odds, against life's headwinds
from where did you fall, shooting star
from a world afar that has lived and died,
from a sun that swelled until it burst, sudden glide
from a fantastic cosmic balloon, un-echoed
muted cannons, arsenal of dimensions far removed
we see straggled light of last flight tonight
journeys that began in lost worlds, distant yesterday
catches breath into "aaahhhh..." joyful, we say
" you are so beautiful..." flame to fade
to fade and fade away...
