Shooting Stars

Tails of light painting trails

Streaking across velvet skies

Chrystal beams reflecting sunlight

Captured within its dust

Whispers of hope and dreams

Accompany these shooting stars

Wishful thinking from those below

As the full moon lights the way

Promises made to a chosen few

His hand touching those selected stars

Fulfillment comes in rare forms

Unexpected by those so blessed

Yet with the passing of time
A star explodes then is revived 
Awakening dreams long forgotten

Flushing out desires-wants

Hinges are blown off celestial doors
Windows to the heavens opened wide
Sound traveling just behind the light
Giving the needed breath for life

The heavens are filled with such stars
Shooting across the darkened skies
All reaching destinies unknown
As a phoenix reborn
