Final Words

A ball of fire lighting up the sky a fiery orange 

Descending from the heavens 

To fall over the horizon 

In a final brilliant light show of colors. 

Looking up.

Stars softly glowing high above.

Feeling small

Wondering what is out there.

The moon.

A spotlight illuminating the earth below.

Night fast approaching.

Sitting in chairs looking on at the mound of wood.

An elegant bird rising destined to fall.

Then a light.

Small yet growing fast.

Then in a second the bird catches.
