The Meteor Shower

The changes started,
With meteors falling from the sky,

I stared at the raining lights,
Feeling small,
Feeling connected to everything.

As I feel my soul move within me
Expanding like the universe above

I forget 
past sins and burdens,
because

At this moment,
I could walk on water,

Catch the meteors in jars
like lightening bugs on a summer night.

I feel the future rushing toward me,
I close my eyes and smile,
Taking a step forward,

And so it begins.

This is a creative poem. The emotion comes throught your words. You may want to classify it as free verse instead of I do not know. Welcome to Poetry Soup! I hope you enjoy your time spent here. Best wishes with your writing. Karen

somethings missing. by the way don't ever try to catch a meteor with sins and burdens on your shoulders there too heavy, walking on water won't be easy either. you have got to get those sins and burdens off your shoulders some how. jhl
