A Shock of Color

A shock of color, a flash of light

Gallantly streaking across the night,

Leaving a trail of stardust in its wake

Far too significant to forsake.

 

It has come and gone too quickly, yes,

But its spirit lasts forever.

We could not have seen its light fluoresce

When we stood so close together.

 

Some things are too much a treasure

To possibly be long for this Earth.

When they are here, what a pleasure,

And in their absence we know their worth.

 

How lucky we are that it stopped for a while,

Invigorating us with all its glory.

Only an artful shade could so beguile,

Make each of us feel a part of its story.

 

A shock of color, a flash of light

Gallantly streaking across the night,

Leaving a trail of stardust in its wake

Far too significant to forsake.
