Stardust

We are all made of stars.

I believe it now, I see them there, in your eyes

staring back at me.

And I know the miles you have traveled,

for all your parts to meet with mine again.

We began together,

those billions of years ago.

We raced through space,

I lost you in a galaxy whose name

I can't remember.

But our gravity has always secured us,

and slowly we pulled to each other.

Crashing from other planets,

to share this one.

Oxygen plus nitrogen plus carbon--

we have reformed so many times.

Now we re-form together.

Braiding our DNA and all our stardust

into the star's next generation.
