Analysis of Meteoric

Meteoric
How alike we are to meteors?
Challenging ourselves, diving into the atmosphere.
Facing the friction – the burning away that shapes and twirls us – out of control
Finding our groove, gaining our vision and heading for a target
Only to realize that to stay the course, we must burn up and die.
How many of us realize that by rising above the burn
By lifting ourselves above that chafing atmosphere
We might sustain our lives and make the most of the time we have?
And, perhaps, take a better angle on those goals we hope so to achieve.
In time, we will all enter the atmosphere.
Most of us will burn up, helpless to right ourselves.
But a few of us will make an impact.
