Fallen Star

I stare at night through open shutters, 
glaring upon  winding lights 
of darken windows, of lighted paths 

Cars blaze, in rush to slumber 

I glare up at our wintry sky, 
take in its cold embrace. 

Wind chills my barely covered arms, 
harshly slaps its unbearable chill upon 
 my once warm face, 
plays in my hair as it settles in my skin. 

A once bright star dims above, 
his heart weighs, his body gives as it falls 
off its Orion 

My once content soul dims below 
my heart weighs, my body gives. I fall 
off my horizon. 

Into the endless night our hearts continue to 
fall against the wintry chill 

My soul now free,as I watch my 
shooting star.

Hi, Debbie. Isn't it great to marvel and interact with 'the wonder of it all?" A very nice piece my friend. Blessings.
