A <o:p></o:p>
falling <o:p></o:p>
needle <o:p></o:p>
is like a <o:p></o:p>
shooting star<o:p></o:p>
trailing downward<o:p></o:p>
from its lofty perch<o:p></o:p>
high up in the branches.<o:p></o:p>
It is the remnant of what was<o:p></o:p>
yesterday’s new bursting of Spring<o:p></o:p>
and today has burned up its life in this fall<o:p></o:p>
as it jets rapidly downward to the earth<o:p></o:p>
streaking like the comet’s blaze or<o:p></o:p>
a shooting star from aeons past.<o:p></o:p>
Its flash is symbolic of the <o:p></o:p>
finite cycle of life of <o:p></o:p>
the infinite universe.
