SHOOTING STAR
I watched the star
shoot across the sky,
quickly it appeared
and quickly it was gone.
It’s difficult to imagine
that what seemed to take seconds
had actually been a millennium
and happened a millennium ago.
All other stars were paled
by the one
during those short, exciting seconds
when it streaked,
leaving a trail of stardust
like a memory
and was gone
with a blink of my eye.
And if I close my eyes again
I can remember the bright flash
and the sparkling powdery trace left behind,
the brief burst of fiery light
against the dark sky.
It reminds me of you.

What's I saw,and what's I met?What's I expected,and what's I got?What's I doubted,and what's I believed?...
Stop or walk,go or stay.I don't know how many people had passed and how many things had happened on the small area,which I stand on now.Maybe there's a moment,just at that moment I pick up a stone at random and find history and future from the stone.However I don't know who was last one touched it,and who'll be next?
Crisscross is the eternal trick of vicissitudes of the world.
Some abstract thoughts are difficult expressed,so the meaning of some sentences may be imprecise or indistinct.If this is indeed the case,please you give me a smile.After all I can't use english like my mother tongue.
My - yes, I smile. But my smile is because I enjoy the way you read the meanings, not just the words. You are doing fine with the English. It is a difficult language, isn't it?
Lynilu：Yes,I think the English is difficult.However it's so attractive and charm that I can't help loving it.The clear examples are your poems and words.
My - Thank you. I am honored that you enjoy reading my words.
