Falling out of the clouds
Like a shooting star
Sets the night on fire
As I cascade towards
The earth at a frightening speed
But I am not afraid
Because as I fall to my fate
I am granting millions of wishes
For those whose lives have
Not yet been fulfilled
And yearn for something
That will make them whole again,
I am ablaze,
A smouldering mass of beauty
That opens the eyes of so many people
Who are perched on top of a hill
Or by their bedroom windows,
Sitting in absolute silence,
The only sounds are their heartbeats
And their dreams singing in their heads
Like a magnificent symphony.
I am close to the ground now
And I am slowly burning out,
But it's OK,
I am willing to make this sacrifice
Because my beauty was amidst so many others
In the black canvas of Space,
Now I am spreading it across the World.
For the hungry eyes and the hungry minds
of humanity.
