My heart is now a meteor By Debbie Carrier My heart is now a Meteor Launched into the volition of a nights sky Like a rainbow painted across a sunset desert, after rain Wearing tube socks It’s departure unannounced It’s freedom banner waving, in its sailing It jetties across the blowing clouds The starlit backdrop The even angel voices say It’s a miracle. I can never repay her for what she did. For now, this heart’s on fire Stirring up the dust No ordinary Bo-stone No ordinary earth element Heated in the fires Of perfection Of keeping it between the lines Of balance On a high beam Like Evel Knievel soaring high above the Grand Canyon on his super speedy motorbike Flat out flying Like a meteor in perpetual orbit Around a glowing summer moon Fall will come and dust out the corners Winter will eventually return with snow so Deep and high; and lonely And miles apart I’ll wish I’ll wish As angel voices say I cannot repay her, for what she did. She was selfless. She taught me to remember to be selfless. And I can never repay her! She single-handedly fixed the dent in me with spit and shine: and washed away the rust All with a laugh And glowing eyes and a love for God so deep It made me Cry. And my heart is a meteor; not your average bolide Soaring through the night Unannounced. Like Evel Knievel soaring high above the Grand Canyon on his super speedy Motorbike! Flat out flying! And I can never repay her! 30 of 55
