Shooting Diamond

As the bright sky begins to fade, I see the sun in shades 
of yellow, orange, blue, and gray. 

Why is this atmospheric achievement so grand,
as the colors spread joy and hope across the land?

Each day we see this spectacle, an explosion of truth. 
We may find another to share our thoughts, as we
watch this astonishing drama take root.

The sky now black, as diamonds appear, sparkling and 
shooting through the atmosphere. With infinite chances 
for our heart to take flight, we fall in love by the 
glow of moonlight.

In this world of confusion, struggle and strife, we should 
all hope for our own shooting diamond of light.
