TO A FALLEN STAR:
by Emily Tongremember who you have been
remember who you are
and what it means to a
world, watching there, below.
remember the shattered wishes,
the useless daydreams,
and nightdreams.
and before you disappear
into the dust, into the wind
from whence you came,
think of me, and remember 11/25/2006 Author's Note: hmmm. not sure exactly what this means. does that ever happen to you? like you don't understand what you say/write/think? i dunno.. it's a weird feeling.

Your poem makes me think of the vastness of the stars ... watching us every night and how the disappearance of just one can makes me think of how I am being watched by one less star. Does that star have memories? Perhaps it does. Very nicely written. |
