Falling Star

Posted on June 26, 2019 by Penny Wilson Writes

Burning 
brightly

Resplendent and 
beautiful  

Wings spread 

Flying 
among the celestial   

Caught up 
in a world 

Too fast

Quickly falling 
from grace  
from the heavens 

In a rush 
to grow 
to experience

This falling Star

Flaming briefly 
only to die out 

Extinguished 
all too soon
