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.

This is a beautiful poem! So heart-warming! God! I immediately fell in love with the first 4 stanzas. And the rhymes made me drunk with curiosity to read more and more. So catchy! "In twilight hours an abundance of stars. . . ." This is my favourite line. Please continue writing.

A lovely poem—full of the genuine emotion that good poetry should evoke. Just as importantly, it’s written in true rhyme, not prose merely disguised as verse.
