Star Dust

I hear the whispers when darkness descends

Hush, hush — can you hear me?

Be still with your thoughts and feel the silent song

The drumbeat of the cosmos, the ever-lasting rhythm

Tossing and turning in the pale purple galaxies

The bones and the vessels, the pulsing, the breath of the elements

Planets and asteroids paint auroras in the sky

Dreams and ghosts are dancing

Nebulae give birth to the stars

The screams of the Milky Way

Celestial winds echo through the night and return to the ether

Drip, drip, the clay that makes Adam and Eve

In the quiet — Infinity is born — Stardust
