I saw a falling star tonight
It was beautiful
We admire the beautiful things, you know
But did you forget?
This star
Falling
Lighting the sky
Was also burning,
Dying.
We crave beauty
We crave glory
We crave the gasps we make
When stars fall from the sky.
We rarely realize
The cost
The pain
The fire
The death.
We want our path.
Our path wants mystery.
Mystery wants faith.
Faith without fire
Is no faith at all.
