Falling With Grace

Beauty and brilliance I see from afar, 
In twilight hours an abundance of stars. 
If one shall fall with elegance and grace, 
What a wonderful memory I will embrace. 

Tonight I see one falling from space... 
So bright and surreal from an unknown place. 
So simple and pure, yet falling so fast... 
What a beautiful sight, how long will it last? 

How I wonder upon this falling star... 
The journey it’s traveled, did it come from far? 
I wait for another, so eager to see... 
This fragile rare gift that's given to me. 

Will the next one be bright, weak or dim? 
Does it send us a message we all carry within? 
The message is simple; it's about our own soul, 
Treat life with care and stay in control. 

Just like the star, one day we will fall... 
Our lights will burn out, with grace above all.
​​​​​Life can be short, or life may be long... 
But with loving oneself, the light will burn strong.
