| by sharon with love |
already burning out as you
scorched across the sky.
Dazzled,
I ran behind,
waiting for impact.
All that time wasted,
looking for glitter in the dirt
and finding only ashes.
I should have looked to the skies,
to the brighter lights still blazing,
yesterdays away from now,
and set my course by
that antique radiance.
Then,
only one of us
would have fallen.
