I Simply Wish

I simply wish to look upon the stars

Marvel at how beautiful they are

How they twinkle and wink

Embedded in all that velvety black ink

But instead I wonder

When will one explode?

Will it sound like thunder?

Or impact an ascending node?

The nearest star to Earth is the Sun

How soon before we have to run?

All life must come to an end

This I know

But will my line reach my great grandchildren

Before we all must go?

(From what I've gathered, the Sun still has billions of years of life left. So, no worries.)

I simply wish to look upon the stars

Wonder how far away they are

Close my eyes and make a wish

As one shoots across the evening sky

While the spoon runs off with the dish

Romance is still alive, I can't deny

But no...

I think...there goes a meteoroid

Entering our atmosphere

Will one fall to the Earth

At thousands of miles per hour

Escaping the burn

Hitting an unsuspecting person

In the eye

While on a midnight stroll

Taking a turn?

And then I cry...why?

Why oh why must I?
