Dark and twinkling
Only for a second
But in that moment
So radiant and bright
Somehow more brightly coloured
An elegant display
Than anything of the day
On the land or in the sky
Books say just a rock
Floating in the vastness
But I know better
You spoke to me that night
It’s everything I’ve sought
But haven’t given name
The song I remember
But can’t quite sing along
Come back to me
My shooting star
I need you now
To illuminate my life
You’re my flickering hope
Straining in the wind
When you come down to meet me
Don’t crumble coming in.
