Meteor storm

Shooting stars are out tonight 

and you and I are watching them.

Blazes of dust, too quick for the eye,

or pinpricks, burning out slow.

We share our knowledge in the dark;

The Great Bear, The North Star.

Something bigger hangs above

floating east to west.

How many nights do we get to see

The Milky Way dissect the sky?

It’s like a question God might ask,

scattered across the emptiness.
