Shooting StarsA Poem by PetalA million stars cover the night sky Some wait ever so desperately to kiss the sun But others enjoy the sky that they too illuminate These stars fuel their own independence Not relying on anything else except what inhabits them Some stay still, burning vibrantly Others are dying out They have run their course and are now leaving the sky But there are a few that are chosen They are the ones that shoot across the sky Are these stars running for something? Maybe they are chasing something? Are they late? Or maybe, just maybe they have kissed the sun Maybe they greeted the sun These stars are filled with happiness They ride across the night sky However, they could be trying to escape Escape what? Their own death perhaps Maybe these are the ones that still have fuel in their fire Could they be just be searching to bring another soul happiness? Humans do wish upon them Maybe their purpose is to fulfill those wishes Maybe those wishes don't come true Maybe the shooting stars see them as too selfish Maybe they only grant wishes to those who don't have a selfish wish Those stars are the ones that love all But if people make a selfish wish then it is not within their control They are falling Falling to the great unknown or maybe in someone's backyard This universe is filled with vast, unknown things So, maybe shooting stars aren't stars at all Maybe they are the universe's way of saying 'Hello.' Or maybe it's our neighboring aliens who are welcoming us Maybe they are wondering why we don't say hello to them They probably think of us as rude or ignorant Or maybe they are the souls of the fallen Maybe when we die we don't become angels Maybe we don't become apart of the Earth We don't become a fragmented memory Maybe, just maybe we become shooting stars ourselves Each time someone sees a shooting star it's a passed loved one They are checking in on you Sometimes you may not see the traveling soul But the view that do should cry out of happiness They shouldn't wish They shouldn't just let it pass by They should jump around and scream 'Hello, I miss you and love you!' Because you never know Even if they aren't a loved one Say it anyways Let that soul know, even if you don't know who it is Let that shooting star know you love them © 2013 Petal
