Song of Stars

When the stars align

In their cosmic harmony

Tuning to the universe

IN a galactic temperament

I can hear the ancient melody

Born of time immortal

Sung by a chorus of stars

Locked inside a dance

To match the swirl of planets

I gaze into the sky

The lights of those distant singers

So far away, and yet so close

And when I feel your hand

And think of all our atoms

Born in the belly of a star

Split apart eons ago

Hurled into the void

Only to coalesce again

Here, in this moment

In this place

On this planet in this form

When I remember we are star stuff

It fills me with an awe

That cannot be explained with words

But I see the explanation

When I look into your eyes

The unspoken knowing

Of the limitlessness of us
