Collaboration, Part III (Halley's Comet)


Halley’s Comet

Sky lit up with sparks ignited by golden flames,
a silver moon shivers against the crisp autumn breeze.
Shifting clouds begin to part and time comes to a stand-still:
a show, long-awaited, now begins to unfold.

Shooting high, amongst the moon and stars,
a blinding ball leads a flaming blaze;
fallen rocks, then a glowing tail
seen through misty haze.

Blazing sparks light up the night
as friction scars the fallen sprites.
Starry fragments glitter, forever fading silently into darkness…

The spectacle passes an awestruck audience,
seen and gone, their intrigue fades.
Clouds circle in, enclosing the shooting star,
and it takes its last bow...
and fades dimly away.

Seventy-five years in the making…
fast away it flies, growing dimmer by the second…
a world it has passed, many more it must come by.
