A falling star
landed in my heart last night
after traveling through
a canopy of forever.
Like a final note striking
in a silent symphony
hanging brilliantly
throughout the night...
Throughout the night.
I too, like a falling star
will eventually let go
knowing deep within my heart
she will catch my last tear.
And though my spirit yearns
to soar among the stars...
and hears the call
"come home..."
"Come home."
I know the hardest thing
I ever will do...
is take that final forever
step
into the night.
It is an honor that this poem is being used for lyrics for the music composition Into the Night.
