Silent Passing Star Poem by Smoky Hoss

Silent Passing Star

Rating: 5.0


I laid out late
In the weeds one night,
Laid there light and long
Carelessly humming a few old songs...
When a passing star
Caught my eye;
So bright to be so far
It must have fell from heaven
Into my little night sky.
So I looked
Hard and deep,
And asked of it
To share some delicate, divine secret..............
But never did I hear
Even so much as a peep.

It simply went along it's way
Burning bright,
Silently blessing
Such a peaceful night.

I think this is majestic. Simple words can say things long diploma'd words can't do justice to.
