I once saw a shooting star, It was oh so very far
So beautiful like a marigold, What a sight to behold
Now the star is no more, Oh how my heart was tore
It came and went so very fast, Its beauty not meant to last
A bright white tail left in its wake, One that could not shake
I wonder where it might be, For alas it I cannot see
Flying throughout the universe, While I live in this curse
I go through my life, Living in such strife
Never will I see it again, While I still walk with mortal man
Once I leave this place, I shall plead my case
To the one who is up on high, As to why I should fly
To see that star once more, Upon that beautiful starry shore

- Comment from author about the poem: The creation of this poem was in my first semester of College while I was in my math class. I don't really know what caused me to write this, but just that I did. Sometimes random inspirations just pop up and I have to write them down then and there or else they'll fade away.

What a coincidence, tonight, in my area, Perseids meteor shower could be observed. Shooting star with a short but brilliant life.
Yes, and that's really cool. They're always a wonderful but short-lived sight to see.
