Shooting Star

poem by: D'Vina Dietrich
Written on Dec 06, 2019

Pedaling down a road surrounded by trees
Just I and my mother beside me

It was a warm breezy night.
Star filled sky, providing light.

Gazing at the sky, so brilliant!
Mothers voice shouts with excitement.

"Look a shooting star!" With sparkles in her eye
"Make a wish mija!" I stood mesmerized. 

My wish: "Please, don't ever leave me."
But that wish never came to be.

12 years later mother passed away. 
Since then, I haven't been the same.

Shooting stars don't mean a thing.
How do I carry on with all this pain?

Rain falls, Hitting me hard. Tears from my eyes. Thunder roars, Shaking me entirely. Deep in my chest. Lightning strikes, Slashing my heart. Ending my pain. Read more
