Morning Reflection by Yvona Fast

Meteor streaks through night 
briefly lights up the sky. 
Then it is gone. 
Thoughts streak through my brain
In and out, in again. 
Remnants from the past,
People who are gone,
Others who are not well. 
My heart cries with their pain. 
Passing through life experience. 
When we are gone 
What will remain?
