Shooting Star
I have never fallen in a shower of stars.
They tell me
It is life shattering
They tell me
It is like waking up in a sea of blue
They tell me
It is our ancestors calling to us
Our hearts exploding to join them
And as our fire
Streams down
Like a thousand silver ribbons in a rushing waterfall
Our souls
Hiss
In that sea of awakening
Steam rising up to heaven’s bowl of sky
And our sparks melt into the earth
And the roots are the buds of our new life
And we sprout
Up to that sky
To greet the brothers of our future.
