Hey Zoya this is a lovely poem!!!

The stars and cosmos is so amuzing to

think about and look at!!!

I am often dreaming away surrounding by

planets and stars, then I think about our

mortal bodies and immortal souls!

Regards and hugs Dan!!!

This is really beautiful Zoya. I've never thought about shooting stars much but your poem has made think of them in a different light.

That was beautiful. Very inspiring. I like how we wrote on the same thing, but through our different eyes we describe it differently. It is the awesomeness of humanity. Good job again.

I love this one...it's true, one thing can have two very opposite consequences...try to to think too much about it :)))

Yes, shooting stars are a wonder to me also Zoya....almost sad to see, yet so beautiful and not at all ordinary. It is like they are spent, no more, a blaze of beauty that has ended its life, and is no more...somewhat makes me think of a life taken too soon....odd that it makes us feel such things heh? Maybe just a reminder to us of such sacred things as life and death.

oh...and such a beautiful poem to express these ponderings.

Love, BlueyedSoul

hi zoya zaidi... thanks for leaving me words... i appreciate it very much... xx

your poem:
i think ive seen a shooting star once but it was a fleeting moment really... stars mystify... and shooting stars even more... i dont know much about astronomy so cant say i know why there are shooting stars once in a while... about what it invokes in you, is it related to regional folklore or simply your personal observations on this phenomenon? i know i ask the strangest questions sometimes hehe... though i have to say your poem made me see a different perspective id never pondered upon before... i like that :) thanks for sharing this... im off into my thoughts about shooting stars... and im sure if i ever see another one, ill be thinking of you :)

later... xx

A very beautifully expressed reflection.
We humans stand with our feet on the ground and our head rowards the sky...

Another good impressive poem ... Anyway, what do you wish to have straight off whenever you see a shooting star? As you are an Indian, I can't but ask you this question which you may think to be odd.

Very good thought. Write it as you feel it. Never thought at looking at the stars this way. Keep it up.

you are missing an n in the title inside the poem.

the word orbit i think would be better with a lower case o.

the first verse, i know you leave it open for continuation, but you begin to explore a thought, but do not follow through with anything at all, just when i see, and leave it at that. perhaps removing the ... here, use a comma and then go into the next two lines?

star capitlised i don't think it need it.

Or
It will just integrate
Slowly,
Gradually,
Into space?


will it just...

plus the following three lines are a continuation of the ones before so you do not need the 2 question marks.
