J.N. Burnett's Literary Magazine Club // Volume 3, issue 4: TEMPORARY

we are all made of stardust destiny lang At night we admire the cosmos The planets, moons and stars We live in the moment Wanting it to last forever Our reality and eternity But the universe makes me feel So small So insignificant A speck of dust as time wears away Traces of my existence We will vanish on this Earth Before the North Star Becomes Vega, not the Polaris We glance up, smiling As we point at the Big Dipper Short is the life of a human Years go by with a snap of the fingers The blink of an eye The tenderness in your smile In our teary goodbye My time ran out I screamed in regret As Hades swept you away in his chariot Drawn by stallions of the night Before dawn had broken Ron wiped my tears As he gently told me "The lost ones will ascend Into the vast night sky A newly born star"
