Jonathan White Poet Blank verse

Meteor Shower

Last week I looked up
And witnessed with my very own
God given eyes
The impossible

Last week I looked up
And experienced heaven tearing apart

Last week I looked up
And saw God's own creations
Hurtling down from their throne
In an annual commemoration.

You have not been forgotten.
Even the stars themselves 
Know what they have lost.

                                               Sa aking mahal na bituin.
