Comet

 

 

I fall into the sun

Everything I’ve done

Trails a million miles behind me

The bright light is one

A reflection of the power that pulls me

 

I’m screaming home

Across a future veiled in darkness

My only purpose

Is to yield to gravity

My only choice is how and why I burn

 

A soul is only presence and memory

A promise and spent potential

 

I come around and out into the void

I’ll find friends

But I’ll keep only memories

The stars come a little closer

Before momentum takes me back

And the pulse stops at perigee

Just before I fall on home
