Shooting Star Poem by Caroline Bulleck

The stars in the sky
Filled me with a sense of calmness
Punctuating the darkness
Then something caught my eye

I looked up, almost blinded
The most brilliant shooting star
Time stopped as it shone from afar
This moment forever unended

The night becoming day
But it faded away so suddenly
Left a darkness that swallowed me
No stars left to light my way

It's never been so dark with doubt
The emptiness never felt so heavy
Every night I search the sky above me
But there is no more light, inside or out
