In the Wonder

sitting and breathing,
 I am again
 in the wonder

there are fissures
 in my night sky
 I see a skerrick
 of heaven 

flaming stones
 happen through
 etching minutes
 on small hours 

starbursts course
 onto the Milky Way,
 snow in space and
 angel dust in my eye

pieces of humanity
 drift in the iris
 overawed,
 breathing stops 

in the incredible
 astonishment
 of existence
 and the favour
 of life 

I respire
 once more

Meteors in the night sky are nice sights even though they fall so quickly and can easily be missed even when we blink our eyes. You have described them fancifully well here.
