Meteor.
and collides with the air, burning up and emitting light.โ
Commonly 'a shooting star'is what it's called.โ
..
When I was little, I saw a meteor and thought.
If it shines like that, could it be jewelry flying through the sky?
Could jewelry be flying around in space too?
When I grew up and looked into it, it turned out to be made of dust and debris.
It was just a natural phenomenon.
Not shining jewelry, but made of space dust.
They were shining dust.
..
At some point, I wanted to shine like jewelry.
I could never get close to that shining ideal, and
I felt small and dusty.
Just some space dust that didn't matter whether it was there or not
the kind of space dust that didn't matter.
..
But when I look at meteors, I start to think.
I guess I'm space dust too,
so maybe I can shine like a meteor.
Every time it shines as it comes down,
people make wishes.
Maybe I can shine like that too.
..
So, before I knew it, I started trying to become a meteor.
Even dust can shine.
Those bits of dust that shine for just a momentโ
I'm dreaming of them.
