People are like comets shooting through the night sky.
Some flicker or shine brightly like the stars,
Never moving far from where they came.
Some flash through the night with blinding speed,
And fizzle out never leaving many deeds.
Each star, each comet is different.
They have different colors,
A different brightness,
Different speeds
And different lengths of time they give off light.
We pass each other quickly in the span of a life,
Never able to slow down & stop our trajectory.
For there is much that is bigger than us,
And our flight through the night.
Much of time and space that is beyond our sight.
We must be thankful for every light we pass.
Every person that touches the soul.
However bright, however long they travel with us,
They helped light our way,
And gave us company in the vast expanse of space.
For we are like comets shooting through the night sky.
People like stars shining bright are quickly passed by.
Very few last and were made to travel with us, side by side.
