Like Fire in the Sky

Like fire in the sky,

you and I, try- 

try to make sense of our uncertain state,

not like the comet, highlighted with brilliant streaks of white,

nor like the falling star, though beautiful in its own right- too brief to be appreciated,

But with such shift of subtle gleam, whose to say it will ever pass?

I wish it not so
