we are all made of stardust - a poem by destiny lang

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"

Fresh from the nebula Watching over us The drama of humankind Slowly burning out Like a dimming candle

I searched for the brightest star "There you, are, Jason" Not locked away in the Earth Not swept away by waves of the current But smiling down upon me

Who knew your life Would be a catalyst for mine When it was lost I wept uncontrollably Wishing your eyes would open again

Made of stardust, we all are Temporary we may seem Short lives we may live But we make the most of our time Slipping away from the grasp of our fingertips

We are stardust and stories Memories rewinded in my mind A movie theatre for my soul I celebrate your life and mine Even though it is temporary

But my time will come someday I'll obediently board the chariot We'll reunite again as binary stars Two stars lost in time As we smile down upon the universe
