Comets--By Langley Shazor--United States

Comets

Falling stars

Twinkling at arms’ length

Shimmering above the ground

Suspended by their own force

Light travels much faster

Dazzlingly quick

Waiting not for it to reach our eyes

But for it to simply appear again

Visual love songs

Performed in unison

Meticulously choreographed

Each night danced away

In this vastness

The absence of light

Reveals the beauty of another sort

Two worlds blended perfectly

And this moment

I am a traveler

Moving through space and time

Sailing across the cosmos
