Golden Traveler

A flash of light

Slashes the night

sky. I wonder

to be under

the high heavens.

My dreams are close,

Part of me knows.

The vastness is

soaring within,

and silent out.

The flying star

screams from afar.

Distance swallows

Vict'ry follows

her silent songs.

Interstellar

golden traveler,

Why cut life short

to sail dawn's court?

Spent life at once.

She sails the heights.

Seconds in sight.

Disappearing,

smiling, sharing

her life and joy.

Do I live long

or sing the song

of the bright stars

whose short life mars

monotony?
