Shooting Star

I’ve witnessed my brethren rise and fall,
with death’s glare as glorious as the fetal spark;
Never have I ceased to gaze them all,
for I’m a messenger of the cosmic dark.

After a Millennium of the mundane rut,
the Gaia’s gleam awoke my interest;
Myriad of voices filled the gaping void,
but one so brilliant to deem the rest devoid.

A voice that I longed forever to hear,
through shrouded loneliness and the darkness so clear;
I heed the wish of a gentle heart,
that liberated me free as I did my life's part.

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed."

Ooh, 'a messenger of the cosmic dark', nice! I like 'shrouded loneliness' too. I enjoyed the read, Linga. Assuming this is for the I Am A Star contest, best wishes!
