Gliding gracefully across the night sky <br />Inevitably earth bound <br />A solitary star proceeds to die <br />Devoid of any discernible sound <br />Slipping silently from way on high <br />Falling freely toward a fatal tryst <br />Burning brightly for the blink of an eye <br />Soon sadly ceasing to exist.<br /><br />Damian Murphy<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-silent-passing/
