The Silence of a Falling Star

The silence of a falling star, so near, yet so far. Wishes hoped for without there be any doubt. Summer nights so sweet, before childhood was complete. Written 6-30-11

I remember falling stars in my childhood and how awed I was. I don't ever see one now that I am an adult. Lovely writing and thank you for your kind remarks about my haiku. Love, Joyce
