A Shooting Star

Is it real or is it magic
This streak across the sky
Is its just for our delight
If so, I must wonder why

Is there a hidden world
Far beyond our mortal eyes
The shooting star a symbol
That it can be beautiful to die

Robert Pettit Date: 8/18/2012 9:45:00 PM We should be thankful that our atmosphere burns up the vast majority of these rocks falling from space. If not, then the surface of our planet would look very much like that of the moon. Good write Barbara. Login to Reply
