The faster she hastens, the less the scenery captures her
All day a gaining pace
All night the path drenched and dry by neighbor sky.
At last, in the climax,
Her blaze disappears behind the swirled crayola dawn, fading to naught.
There’s no repeating
Her final journey.


The author's comments:
The night sky was lit up with shooting stars and suddenly the brightest came blazing into my vision. Just as fast it winked out. I wondered, what if that was all your life consisted of? One monumental burst of light, then fade to nonexistence.
