It came falling in the night A brilliant joy of silver light Through space and time has traveled far To meet earth as a shooting star Romantic eyes gazed at it's fall A glittering gem for one and all Into the earth's dust finding rest Meteorite finished her long quest A little earthling Came along Humming "Twinkle, Twinkle" A favorite song With curious eyes Perchanced to meet The alien rock Just at his feet Dreaming, burnt out resting there He made her the star Of the science fair

This is just wonderful BJ. I could see a small boy finding this meteorite and bringing to the science fair and making it one of his prized possessions. Love it. God Bless, JB

Thank you Jennifer, you lifted my day with your comment :) It was rather fun to write this poem, I am in awe of the night sky and I'm always excited to see a 'shooting star'. We always look forward to the meteor showers, especially The Perseids during the summer. It was pretty spectacular to see this one the other night, I was totally inspired to write :) <3 ~BJ

The shooting star speeding past through ether and falling down to earth must have been a wondrous sight. Blazing through the entire trail, finally when it lands on the soil, it solidifies into a hard rock . This happens very rarely.... no wonder it became the star of the Science Fair.... Beautiful dear BJ

Thank you Valsa, it is just a story from my imagination :) I witnessed a 'falling star' and remembered when my son was in earnest to find a meteorite, he's crazy about science till this day :) I hope your day is richly blessed my dear beautiful friend! Thank you for your cheerful comment and visit, I always appreciate you so much! <3 ~BJ

Thank you so much Vijay! I am blessed and uplifted to read your comment :) I'm sorry the days have passed and this is the seventh day from when you commented. I don't know how I get so busy in life and cannot get on here to read or post replies, it seems I just wrote this poem a couple of days ago! I hope you are having a wonderful day my friend <3 ~BJ
