The Comet

It shines in the sky, bright and beautiful.
But only for a while.
It flashes away, far and gone.
But only for a while.
Did you see it? Did you see it?
All who saw it say.
A glimmer of hope in the darkness.
That must have been something.
The comet.
Here, and gone.
Touches your vision, only to vanish.
Will you be around when it returns?
Don't know.
But you saw it. Or you missed it.
Will you be around when the burning rock returns?
Don't know.
But it came. And that must have been something.

I'm no angel. I'm no hero.
But I'm only here for a while.
I'm nothing special. I can't save the world.
But I'm only here for a while.
Did you know me? Do you know Him?
That's what I hope you'll see.
A glimmer of joy in the darkness.
That must be worth something.
A comet.
Not a planet. Not to be remembered for something great.
Here, and gone.
Touch your heart, only for a time.
Will I ever see you again?
Don't know.
But you knew me. Or didn't care.
Will I ever see you again?
Don't know.
But I was here with you. I hope that was something.
