Traces of me you left
inside my lonely heart
draw in the penultimate breath.
As the stars glimmer crystal clear
up against reflections of dark water
you can see my shooting star recede.
Only a silent speck
suspended on silver wings.
And I slowly sink away.
See the Moon?
Although waxing, it smiles
in tranquility while the stars whisper
pleasant songs to the nearby wind.
But when the Moon completely fades
and out arrives the bright, glowing Sun,
so will the snowing stars
that illuminate the night sky.
I absorb one breath.
A moment like this is fleeting
in a sliver of Time.
An ephemeral dream to touch
with your heart ‘til it is no more;
then only to be remembered
for eternity.
Who would've ever thought? - Kevin L.
