Fallen Star Poem by Timber Koleden
Fallen Star
For time untold I blazed on high
Light 'neath my wings, I brightened thy sky
When thee walked in shadows of night
I shone o'er thee and made the blackness bright
The years have passed away in speed
On the seas thou look'd to me in need
The kings of old headed my blaze
My icy glow, subject of astronomers gaze
Didst thou ever think to ask of me
Whether I wanted to shine so bright for thee
Didst thou ever consider me
As a creature shining selflessly
Behold! I shone till my wings crack'd
My flame did burn till all strength I lack'd
Then like lightning flash, swift and embered
I died and fell to earth, ne'er to be remembered
The earth was split beneath my wreck
My body was smitten on mountain cleft
In the shadows of thy world 'neath the sky
My fire was quench'd where my body will broken lie
I read this earlier tonight when the stars were still out, and shortly after reading it I actually saw a shooting star! This poem added so much more excitement and brilliance to that brief glimpse I had!
