Outshine the Stars

Shooting stars oft fall unseen; their descent defaced, by brilliant beams of sunlight; expunged and erased. And yet, come nighttime, meteors outshine the stars: their demise sublime.

Beautifully-expressed, Emile. There always seems such promise in a shooting star, even though we know they are dying. Nice work.
