Not Just Lightning Poem by Shirley Harrison

Like a meteorite blazing down to earth from infinity

down from the blackest of space

where only true diamonds sparkle

and from down here are seen

as only a human can really see them as bright dots

remember the moment

the meteorite finally shatters into pieces

much like a celebration of sparkling confetti

shared with whoever can see

well that sparkling confetti

is all the love I hold within my aliveness

and it's all for you.
