We Are Star Stuff (a poem)


Eternal and invincible
These particles of me
And of you
Created at the first birth pangs of the universe


We share the same energies
Binding all matter
You to me
Their ebb and flow permeating the seen and unseen


Neither created nor destroyed
Transitioning
through the ages
Recycling, Morphing, now energy, now matter,


These particles of me, and of you
Always connected
And changing
Once a bird, a tree, earth, human,light from a dying star


These particles of me, of you
From the beginning
Never ending
These parts of us, exist in the past, present and future
