FALLING STAR
I saw a falling star
once,
and younger then
I didn’t question
when
or how
it fell
or from where
or why it came
this far
to fall
just for me
to see.
But, older now
with thoughts
of galaxies
and cosmology
plasma mixed
with neutron flux
muddles the
black holes
of my thoughts
and denies me
the joy of seeing
a shining light
sent
just for me
to see.
I wish
that
I could see
another
falling
star.
