Shiny Things I Found

 

I saw a star falling onto the ground.

I was late to catch it but when I looked around,

it was a melody from afar that came as a sound.

Bright and warm, with a color profound.

Listening to it, there I stood astound.

 

At every beat, falling deep deep down.

I fell in love, like a king for his crown.

I made a song from it and called it my own.

I wanted me to change, explore outside my zone.

I've been singing it since then, through my ups and down.

 

Now my heart beats with that melody every dusk and dawn.

Only one thing I got wrong, I feel I was clowned.

The song that I love is not my crown.

It made me a king who loves his town.

Here I share, the Shiny Things I Found.
