Shooting Star
Ashley Burdett


Sometime so very long ago
On a night that has long since passed
I laid beneath the stars
To contemplate my journey.

How far I've come,
Over high mountians and steep valleys,
Through dark forests and deep rivers,
From one end of the world to another.

But I could not help to ponder,
As I laid beneath the stars,
The meanings of my journies,
Just as I have said.

Laying there I felt
The chill bite gently through my jacket
Distracting my thoughts away
From all I have felt.

And yet,
When I turned my vision
Back to the heavens
I caught sight of a passing star.

To which I thought
Perhaps it was like I
Only completing its journey
In a very different time
In a very different place.
