Epigrammata XXI

As seen and captured by Leigh Fitzgerald circa 9:25pm EST.

A meteor over Virginia at night
For some, a dazzling, beautiful sight
The count of falling lights must grow
That some must see and never know
A sign I write, and decode it thus
Strange that falling lights I trust--
High you flew in your last hour
With a flash, the sky devour
And earth reclaim your wandering power.
