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

Collision Among The Stars

Nothing in their charts foresaw their destiny


Written words burned with the candles of their daily prayers


At night they whispered their words of desire in their dreams


Star crossed lovers were they chosen by destiny as yet to meet






Exposed and naked one lies under the star filled night


The other equally exposed under the broad light of day


Both gazing up into the skies wondering about their lives


As the power of the earth beneath them rumbled






The elements wound their caresses around them


Bathing them in the warm waters feeding the earth


As it gently comes down from the heavens


Then warming them both by the golden rays of the sun






Day after day; night after night; supplications went forth


Reaching ever higher to those powers above


Pleading for the companionship they both so wanted


Until one day they both were granted what they sought






No power on earth could have foreseen it


No human eye could have withstood its light


Yet souls trembled when the air was split


With the sounds of two hearts colliding
