A Starlit Sky

In a Starlit sky

A trillion years dart

Across

As light that has traversed Time

To my eye

Twinkling therein

Meanwhile

Two planes follow vectors discomfortingly close

Yet they don’t crash

I am grateful for all that could have been catastrophic but wasn’t

How many things are we spared and we forget

To realize how blessed each moment is to come together

For us to beget

Another stretch of life?

Star nurseries

Star dust

Pulsar Quasar

Heartbeat Stars

Encircling One Another

In Rhythms of Stellar

Love

Supernova

Goes Bust

As Eventually Big Stars

Must

Shine

Star Children

Because the opposite of dis-aster

Is

Aster

So dust

Of Your Ass

And Shine

Your Pure Heart

Every Breath

Is A New Star (t)
