That Bittersweet Delight
Poetry
In the vast expanse of the night sky, shooting stars are a wonder that captivates the imagination of all who witness their fleeting brilliance. Their sudden appearance and swift journey across the darkness leave us in awe and wonder, pondering the mysteries of the universe. This poem is an ode to that very phenomenon, drawing inspiration from celestial beauty.
Here’s the poem:
Up, rested the eternal carpet,
stars above, scattered on its dark velvet.
Their twinkling lights slicing through the dark,
each one pirouetting, a luster, a spark.
For then I see the shooting star,
a fleeting flame, that shone from afar.
A flash of light, a moment brief,
it entailed an ephemeral belief.
It dances on the edge of night,
mocking the human in a way so bright.
Only to disappear from my staggered sight,
leaving me alone to relish upon that bittersweet delight.
A memory that will forever linger,
a wish I made with all my vigor.
But now, it’s just a happy reminder,
of the heart’s fulfilled desire.
