Stardust

[CdnReader]

.

To be born within stardust
Afar from the shackles that bind us here....
Can we be born again, on the far side of the universe?
And still continue our earthbound journey?
At once?

If this is possible,
I shall send my wings skyward
.....now.....
I shall pry thy fingers from my ankles
.....now.....
I shall lift thee from thy knees and take thee with me
.....now....
and we will travel there
as one,
floating high over this
troubled world....

I will wipe the worries from thy brow.
I will capture thy spirit within mine own.
I will hold thy heart in the palm of my hand
and whisper words of grace.

If this is possible,
then I wish it for all.

The reading of this was very spiritual for me, like an early morning devotion. While you are probably now preparing for lunch I am preparing for breakfast.
Very lovely.

How well you havre mastered the art of direct, open-hearted speech as in the opening and closing if this.

I doth wish though that thou wouldst ceaseth and desisteth in thy usage of the Biblical thees and thys. They maketh me thomewhat thelf-conthioth!

u certainly ARE whispering words of grace. *applauds*

[Pendragon]

Strong closing.

This is so spontaneous and so like a prayer that the middle must be written the way you wrote it. Bless you and your words. Amen

[CdnReader]

Thanks very much, Firefangled. :)

Some astrophysicists believe we (and everything else in the known Universe) literally comes from stardust.

Did you ever hear Hoagy Carmichael's standard of the
same title? The lyrics are by Mitchell Parrish.

[CdnReader]

I'm familiar with both the song and the theory, AuntShecky. I love the concept.

And if not stardust,
then what?
Certainly not
genes and DNA,
couldn't be just
muscle and sinew....
and forget about all that
carbon/hydrogen mumbo-jumbo.

For me,
stardust
works just fine.
