Nebulae with two stars (Photo credit: Wikipedia)
I’d like to share with you a poem I was inspired to write recently:
Children of the stars
Breathe in
Stars shimmering scattered above
Spreading outwards
Sparkling and fading as clouds mask and sun- light conceals
Breathe out
Sand slipping and sliding below
Covered by waves
We are between
What are we?
Where did we begin?
Does our breath reach outwards to the sand and inwards to the stars?
Children of the stars
Falling inside two celestial bodies embracing
Touching skin and shedding form
Melting into body
Stars gather inside one body
Safe in the ocean of promise
Waves gathering to find a new shore
To rest
To form rocks, stone, shells
To meld into the veins of the earth
Bathed by golden fire of the sun
Softened in the silver fire of the moon
We darken into dust
Is this where we end?
