Citizen of Time

A comet brightly shines, a trail thru the night
his moment of final glory, a sudden burst of light
He once had course and purpose, a map to all it seems
no one would dare deny him, a path to all his dreams
The void of space too shallow, to justify his fears
lost debris the only proof, that he was ever here
His path will cross with no one, his charts are just a myth
he has no fear of burning out, for absence gives to bliss
He soars out o'er the cosmos, no reason, word or rhyme
his purpose long forgotten.... this Citizen of Time

Brilliant!

At last, a poem to make one think. I like every line. What really grabbed my attention was the title. Wow! And another wow! for the quality. Look forward to more of the same.
