Some people are keen on getting to observe meteor showers in the cold season.

.

I was like them to some extent until a few years back.

.

However, these days it seems just impossible for me to stay awake that far into the night.

.

Thus, the scene in this haiku expresses my little yearning.

.

Huge tree/

Remaining silent/

Into it, shooting stars rush/
