Another Mass Shooting

Another Mass Shooting 
What's wrong with this country 
Put your arms around the cities 
Another horrific shooting 
Another historical tragedy 
Guns and bullets to destroy our lives 
Innocent children have to see this 
Our hearts goes out to the victims 
Another church shooting targeted 
With no morals 
No fear of judgment 
More bullets flying

Aglow

You may missed it, but you are
incandescently alive; a shooting star
at dusk-colored sky. Falling

into the atmosphere, first contact of
fresh air. Friction
wears you armor in blazing flame, highlight—
In the star-sown space, you
a knight descending into this earth
on your loyal mount that is
you, and stardust from unnamed planets
that you once drifted among
aimlessly—until inevitably gravity
from this earth hooked

Shooting Stars Are Exactly As You Are

Behind every person’s soul,
a universe quietly resides.
And I still find it strange
that despite that cosmic brilliance,
we circle back to fixate
on surface-level, fleeting things.
Things that could never touch
the depth of our own true radiance.

We never notice our own
beauty—isn’t that beautiful?

Premium MemberInterview with a Shooting Star

When the night is filled with questions,
and the sky is a jeweled blanket,
I sit on the deck of my water room,
listening to the waves flirt with stillness,
and the breeze ~ caressing the green of palm leaves ~ 
in an island of romance, where the heart sings
in sync with the music of nature.

In all that quietness,

Premium MemberInterview with a Shooting Star

I met a streak across the night, 
 a blaze of breath, a flash of flight. 
 A shooting star with silver flare 
 descended near, through whispered air. 

I asked, “You fall so fast and bright— 
 what secrets do you steal from night?” 
 It flickered once, then shaped a voice 
 as

i only have one true wish to wish upon you,
I wish I could hold him in my arms as I look at you,
Shooting star,
I only have one true wish to wish upon you,
I wish he could hold me in his heart the way I hold you in mine.

An Elegy About a School Shooting

Prologue:
A new kid joins an already troubled elementary school
He sits alone on the first day, and no one dares to sit next to him
For if they dared, their social status would be reduced to a pile of rubble. 
For a while everyone just left this kid alone, and no one dared to figure out the

Premium MemberA SHOOTING STAR AT CHRISTMAS

Walking early in the morning along the waning edges of a silent night
I saw the flash of a shooting star under the full moon shining bright.

And I thought how Christmas is like that star across the sky I saw soar
over in an instant…and each one a little different than the one before.

It’s a moment if

Shooting Star

Attractive and luminous, 
Burning on your golden path 
Like an adamant against the sun.
Symbolising every entity,
Caught up in spontaneity 
Perusing the conscientious.
Uninspired to aspire
Yet inspiring the phenomenal,
As they claim all of what you grant.
During your death, they wield smiles
Making wishes of a lifetime
While you dance in cosmic time.

Sooner or later, their love burns into various shooting stars.
