Starfall

Starfall
I saw a shooting star running across the sky
It was like a softball of sparkles that can fly
And I wondered
Maybe the one of the angels just hit a homerun
Because is not every day we witness such a spectacle

My teacher taught me otherwise
He said those are meteors that happened to be flowing pass earth
And some eventually fall and hit earth
Star fall

We always marvel at the greatest achievements
We give a round of applause at awards
We throw after parties for the stars
And write biographies 

I wonder
Are we all stars that blink at nightsky
Or we are just a piece of rock in flames running across the sky
As we marvel at the stars running, 
Ever wonder where they end
Is it a place high up there
Or is a crash landing on planet dirt
And will soon be forgotten

Like the rainbow
That seem like a sad face
But he is just an upside face
Probably smiling at the sun
And enjoying the breeze of the after rain
He is just himself

I saw a shooting star running across the sky
It was like a softball of sparkles that can fly
And I wondered
Maybe the one of the angels just hit a homerun
Because is not every day we witness such a spectacle

We strive so much to be seen and praised
But as we fall we are immediately forgotten
The star that blinks up there takes billions of years to be
Or a piece of rock in flames running for doomsday
skyfall
