Estrella Ardiente

The universe has a way of tossing us into the winds of time  
and whirling us about like fallen leaves on invisible currents.
 
We like to belive that we control our own destiny  
and chase our fate, sealing it with the descisions we've made
as the world batters us relentlessly with change  
and circumstance, but sometimes I wonder.
 
I wonder why some of us settle in trecherous places,  
teatering dangerously on a precipice at the edge of the sea,  
waiting for the slightest breeze to send us tumbling  
to our breaking point, while others rest comfortably  
nestled amidst the protective roots of blossoming fruit trees.
 
Only destiny determines why  
the loneliest souls shine so brightly at night
and once in a thousand lifetimes two are chosen.  
Like shooting stars they collide in beautiful catastrophe
A passion that burns away the night  -  this light of love.
