Stars In The Sky

Constellations in the sky

A thousand night-lights, shining like dawn

A star-map of the sky, drawn by gods who lived eons ago

Dashed by hands strong, hands ancient

For explorers, to find their path

Where the kings of the past lie

And the queens of old tomb

And ancestors of bygone go

Kingdom come,

Kingdom go

Stars are of eons old

Time has no effect on them

They do not grow, or age

Space does not happen, in them

A star is a mixture of heat and energy and air

Of infinite-ness and infinite-cy, a thousand and one, all combined into a universe without proportion and bounds

Stars twist, and arc, and acrobat

They whirl and swirl and whorl the pool of the universe

They dance, and spin, and ripple like ice waves

They twirl like nebulas, fly like meteors

But most importantly,

Stars are of light

An eternal, ever-seeking light

That does not burn out

Nor go away

It stays.

It stays, and is permanent.

Just like you and me.
