FALLING STAR

James Michael Taylor

We were lying in the meadow
Holding on so tight
Irises expanded
Drinking in the light
All things were in order
Nothing outta place
Cut me on the shoulder
As it flashed across her face
It was a falling star
It was a falling star
I lost her for a moment
She could not see my face
She only saw the brilliance
Of that suicidal trace
And as dreams are meant to vanish
As the sun moves into place
The debris lost it’s substance
in the atmosphere’s embrace
It was a falling star…
