    Ohh! That's a beautiful haiku! โœจCaitlin It captures a timeless, cosmic journey in such few wordsโ€”a glimpse of eternity in the fleeting beauty of a shooting star.๐Ÿ‘

    Hi Caitin! So well crafted. Gentle and reassuring. Ageless souls as shooting stars. It is very emotional to read - reminds me of my Mumโ€™s somewhat similar sentiments. My Mum now deceased but I believe as she did: that she is now โ€˜one with the stars.โ€™ Pauline โ™ฅ๏ธ

    Phenomenally written!

  • Your poem captures the fleeting nature of moments and emotions, much like shooting stars themselves. The imagery you used draws readers in, allowing us to experience the wonder and longing that come with witnessing these rare and ephemeral glimpses of light. Thereโ€™s a profound sense of connection in the way you depict the night sky, as if it mirrors our own transient experiences. Iโ€™m left pondering the significance of those moments that pass by too quicklyโ€”much like shooting starsโ€”yet leave an indelible mark on our souls.
