Song of the Fallen Soldier's Hopes/ Dreams/ Fears/ Nightmares

In the silence of the night,
I had a dream.
A dream of the coming reality.
Burning streaks of silver
flash across the open sky.
Visions of the future
of this sad, blue world.
Prophetic images
race through my mind.
I yell to the stars
but get nothing in return.
Silence.
Only void.
When will it come?
When will we see
What will come of us?
Will we survive?...
Again silence.
Nothingness.
But then the answer comes to me,
as I fall
to the Earth.
How can this be?
Silver pearls
form in my sea of sorrow,
and fly,
Aimlessly,
in the wind,
As they are thrown from my turning face
While I look up
and see
a shooting star.
But can this be?
How can it be?
I wrote this song after watching Orguss 02, a really cool anime which I reccomend. Other than that, there's not much else I can say for this one.
The image I have is of some person, a prophet perhaps, standing in a field looking up at the sky. They had a vision the night before of the Earth's possible downfall. As they she yells to the stars for answers, she sees a shooting star. It is obviousely a sign.
(Yes, I purposefully did not say whether it was a good or bad sign. :p )
