Shower of the Stars
by Jacki M ButlerPitch dark
Lying on a blanket
Stretched across the sand
Becoming one with the darkness
Leaning back and taking it all in
The lights all around become clear
Millions of stars are twinkling
The moon and the planets are aglow
Milky Way becoming more and more clear
Everything seems so still
And suddenly something blazes across the sky
A shooting star, a dying star
Then the sky is at peace
But wait, another, again and again
Until the sky seems it is falling
Til dawn comes and it fades back into light 08/09/2007 Author's Note: I love sitting on the beach watching the meteor showers
