Stars

Burning light creating life
flashes in space as time emerges

Busy people rushing to somewhere
leave behind the place they're in

Leaves on trees are blown and gone,
longing for a place to rest

Winter sees Spring behind him,
She waiting patiently

In the quiet moments of my life
I see the cracks where I have fallen

Hills and valleys where I've traveled
make the plateau I stand on tremble

That which governs stars above
has a place in ticking pieces

It speaks of worlds unnumbered
and a home we once had known

Summer fades as Autumn chases
memories of warmth away

As stars created in an instant
so again we, too, return one day
