A Flash of Light

You were born, and you are,
                                     kind of like a shooting star.

                                           A flash of light, 
                                          across the night.

                                Do you perceive, Can you believe?

                                            A fleeting gift
                                      That's speeding swift

                               Where when the fiery light depart
                                Rest when it complete it's dart

                                      

                                 You are, and you were born
                               It midnight be.... Or is it morn?

                               Life's first gasp. An ebbing sigh
                                  Every seconds a goodbye.

                             Do you believe? Can you perceive?

                                          A flash of light, 
                                         across the night.
