STARSONG
It is widely
considered proven in the scientific community that all but the
lightest elements, including the carbon and other elements in our
bodies, were born in the hearts of stars. I wished to suggest in this
poem that we look at this in a broader way and realise that we
ourselves are the wonderful "aliens", the star children,
who travel with our world and the sun through the galaxy.

STARSONG
We
are
star
children.
Our
bodies born of the breath of suns,
our
souls move in immensity.
Yet
we
forget
so easily
we're
bathed in stellar light;
given
vision
beyond
terrestrial dimension.
For
we have lost humility.
We
are
star
children.
Yet
we
forget
so easily
we're
of illimitable universe:
we're
granted power to be.
Our
sun
harmonizes
with the round of stars.
The
planets ring our journeying.
We
feed on trapped sunbeams,
the
moon moves our deep seas.
Yet
we
forget
so easily
a
gratefulness for conscious being
and,
blind in pettiness,
squabble
over nothings.
We
are, we belong.
We
are star breath, star song.
Yet
we
forget
so easily.
We
are
star
children
and
we all spiral with the stars through vastness.
