The Natural Missiles
The night sky covering itself with dark,
the natural missiles leaving the Earth with its mark.

Friction with the air that produces heat,
makes a meteor to burn and produce light.

Falling meteorites announce themselves with light and sound,
after traveling hundreds of miles it comes to rest on the ground.

Atmosphere creating a drag and reduces the meteoroids momentum.
Soon it lands and as space stone it stored in museums.

Meteors with Na,Fe,Mg ,Ca,N and O in different colours they glow,
they are piecies of heavenly bodies that died ago.

When the earth passes through a stream of debris left by a comet,
we enjoy the meteorite showers climate passing above the trees of the coconut.

Reflection of meteors with tail,decorating the sea,
Impossible to count,at their cosmic velocities they flee.
