Shooting Stars

In the nighttime sky
Fiery stars bleed
Casting aside what binds them
Freeing themselves
From distant prisons
Never to come back
Jumping from invisible woes
Platforms deteriorate
Free-falling forever
Into outcast oblivion
Taking in the atmosphere
To burn out
And disappear

There emits a sense of soaring beauty and thorough insight. I wonder if "Shooting Stars has connection in myriad ways. Always a greater vision to capture in constellations. Thanks. Jan
