This is a poem about shooting stars and their legends…

Riding on the fluorescent tails of shooting stars

Heartfelt desires reach the land of the angels of dreams

That create reality from the stardust and hues of looming rainbows

So take a stone in the palm and solemnise the wish

Or tie a knot in the handkerchief for remembrance

The gods peering through gaps amongst celestial spheres

Let a shooting star fall to the face of the earth

And while there attention is on earth wishes come true better

The comets are rising souls of dead warriors from a battlefield

Or falling angels exiled from Eden,  demons visiting earth with evil aura

Allegedly they are poor souls walking home drunkenly

After lavish dinner at a rich star of benevolence

Shooting star falling brings a year of good fortune

And three seen together are omen of heralding doom

When a shooting star falls it signifies a death

Or it brings good luck to the one seeing it

It is a young girl searching for her way back home

Or it is a celestial shower of punishment

For those who stole the scarlet blooms of wartah

Or it is the patroling Gundam piolots orbiting the sky for surveilence

Zeus as a golden meteorite shower impregnated Danae

And Perseus  the warrior was born

Comets bring in good or bad fortune as per prospective

For miracles happen only if you believe in them…
