Poem - Twinkling Star

© 2008

I gazed upon a twinkling star one night
Wishing I had a telescope
It seemed to be alive
As it bounced and wiggled
Flashing from stark white to fiery red
Transfixed, I was unable to sleep
As my mind explored its existence
The star was suspended in the black
Yet constantly insisted on dancing
I watched and waited for it
To rocket across the sky
But as anxious as it was it remained
A still life in motion
