Vivid dreams

I've recently been having these vivid dreams; I'd wake up at times during the night: 2am, 4am on a consistent basis during the weekdays. Last night I had such a luminous and vivid dream of stars/meteor showers. I wrote a haiku in my head about it afterwards:

meteor shower
       one wish
            follows another











I also remember seeing a shooting star at Christmas Eve last year, it was one of the most amazing things I've ever seen. Here's another haiku:

Christmas Eve
a shooting star points
the way home

I've never seen a shooting star, but I like the idea of it pointing the way home.

The shooting star was a beautiful sight Kelvin, I thought it was some sort of plane at first, but then it was moving really fast, and before I knew it, it twinkled off behind the horizon. I think there's scheduled meteor showers over the years, but I do recommend it! I'm glad you enjoyed the haiku! That definitely makes capturing those moments worth it!

I like Meteor Shower. We never have one wish. We have many of them, that need to be answered.

It is indeed a beautiful thing when dreams inspire poetry; I was lucky enough to have remembered this one as I was passing in and out sleep :)
