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
And the universe
In all of its Glory
Unlike us can never dream
So 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
And 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
Making sojourn forever
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're here
To dream This Dance
Of Names and Nature's
Before we disappear
And 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
Making sojourn forever
I combined an older poem of mine called "Tempt us from our comfort" and wrote the 2nd stanza New.
I much prefer this version
This is what I was trying to embody with this piece...Please let me know what you think
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
