Shooting Star -Structured Prose

SHOOTING STAR
Confidence of youth,certainty 
of self untarnished by reality,
time or ill-health.Swagger without
substance,energy that cries aloud
for the skies,a shootingstar across
the heavens,bright and fast to fade
& disappear,such pace cannot last.
Beauty of youth,lost in a sigh where
yesterday’s dreams wave goodbye.
