Meteorite

Silence creeps through a starry night,

The moon glows with its light so bright;

With rays of sliver glimmer, speckle and dust,

Shining through the forest paths giving it Life!

Nestled bugs dance around rustled leaves,

Crickets sing about to the melody;

Owls go hoot into the pitch black night,

The night is young with no day in sight.

Then behold!

Zooming through the black dark skies,

A silver lining so clear in sight;

Piercing through cotton clouds with all its might,

Creating awe, pleasure and of course, delight.

It was not alone,

Nor abandoned,

Nor stranded,

Certainly not the only one left.

Like a herd of cows grazing away,

Like pack of wolves out hunting for prey;

Like a school of fish swimming in circles,

It brought company to this place of miracles.

The night then lilted with lights of pride,

Blending colours into everything in sight;

Make a wish now with all your might,

On this very day flooded with meteorites…
