Time and space
We see you twinkle
but your light has traveled far
Are you still shining?
Mortal man
Are you mocking us?
You ever winking up high
to generations
Dream
Last night I watched you
glide across the darkened sky
I dreamed I joined you
Birth
Were you there that night
when our universe began?
Was it a big bang?
Death
We mortals just die
You jewels in the night sky
paint supernovas
Free
Cast off earthly chains
and just soar with me tonight
to eternity
