"Go and catch a falling star"-- John Donne
Chasing falling stars is one of my favorite hobbies
Hiking towards the horizon,
Seeing the gentle pulse of the star
Just beyond my sight
Each step laden with potential
Springing forward towards possibility of stardust
And glitter
And other beautiful things.
I do this for days and the world opens before me
Like a pop-up book
Elaborate lattices of delicate paper spinning the world into something beautiful and new.
And then
You find the star
And it's a dull gray rock
Warmth long since seeped out of its center.
