Shooting Star
There were shimmering sonic booms everywhere,
meteors breathing fire into the night;
“Look! Shooting stars!” She jumped up excitedly,
Her face aglow with the magic of the night.
I closed my eyes and sighed,
Praying silently for her Wonder to stay alive;
The world was vicious and took away my smiles,
But as she ran in the darkness, making friends
with fireballs, fireflies and the moonlight,
I pushed away my tears, fears and scars
and ran to grasp my childhood once again,
‘Cause just for a moment,
I wanted to believe in a
Shooting Star
Again.
