~falling Star~2 Versions Poem by Sinnaminsun Sinnaminsun

In the shadows dance the questions
in their midst all answers rise,
With each day appears the glimmer
sailing through all truth and lies.

With each night all darkness covets
daylight bids a soft goodbye,
And night's blanket spreading quickly
closing windows to the eyes.

But in dreams all windows open
setting free from night's reprise,
Calling out to stars above
with wishes long on hopeful tries.

Appearing in the starlight swirling
shows a shooting star's last cry,
Bids farewell to night around her
burned her best, now time to die.

Spirals down truth trails behind her
falls the wisher's dream divine,
Catch it careful, to be granted
need a peaceful heart and mind.

version 2 below:

In our shadows dance the questions
Within our dark answers arise,
With each day appears the glimmer
Shining through all truth and lies.

With each night all darkness covets
Daylight bids a soft goodbye,
And night's blanket covers quickly
Closing windows to our eyes.

But in dreams all windows open
setting free from night's reprise,
Calling out to stars above
with wishes long on hopeful tries.

Appearing in the starlight swirling
Hear a shooting star's last cry,
Bids farewell to night around her
Burned her best, now time to die.

Spirals down, truth trails behind her
Falls the wisher's dream divine,
Catch it careful, to be granted
Need a peaceful heart and mind.
