Fly Doth the Fallen

It was a lump of pride,
  welling inside,
  that I swallowed down
  this lone cold night.
I, a dire-worn sight,
  standing outside,
  poised in silent outcry--
  so cold this night.
Then, a streak lit the sky--
  I came alive,
  and followed
  a Falling Star
             from this Life,
             to its next.

And back.
Again.
