Steady the heavy cannon
prepares to release its load
The dark sky
abuzz with anticipation
In silence and
trailing wonder
The star is free
and travels the night
The aching cheeks
and broad smile
Reveal this shooting
a happy event

prepares to release its load
The desert sky
numb with fear
In silence and
seeking destruction
The missile is free
and travels the night
The aching hearts
and fallen tears
Reveal this shooting
a sad event

Nicely contrasted and the shooting star in the desert would still be a wonderous and pleasing sight to whoever released it!

This is really good. I especially enjoyed the emphasis on the meaning of the words. Write ON.
