The very Stars you are seeing
May yet burn on
Or have been gone
Ten Thousand years
Forever And Anon
Burning Bright
Embedded in the Eternal Night
Of a billion celestial Spheres
We never truly matter
In the greater Cosmic scheme
But the universe
In all of its Glory
Can never truly dream
But you and I
Were born for that
For the little while
We're here
To dream This Dance
Of Names and Nature's
Before we disappear
So the life you are living will come undone
Even as the stars we see at night
To burn as bright though yearn we might
From and to the darkness through
Tempt us from our comfort might
Yet still the hope I have of dreams
Transcending all absurdity
To do, to be, and still I see
The end of all including me

- Comment from author about the poem: We are ancient light We are the light that's new The atoms in our bodies Were Forged in the hearts of stars There are molecules in you left hand That came from different stars than the ones in your right hand Unimaginable vistas of time open before us And we embody past
