“SONG OF THE STAR

I am nothing but oxygen and hydrogen,
A luminous sphere of plasma
Held together by helium and gravity,
And like a balloon I float on earth,
Waiting to be released back into the sky,
Waiting to go back in the reverse
Direction from which I came,
Traveling through a warm tunnel of light,
And out into a cold, dark abyss
Where I will explode into a thousand pieces.
I shall leave behind my body,
Just like air abandons the skin of a shattered balloon,
And the magnetic dust that carries my
Heart and spirit will lift us back
To congregate and shine
With the stars.
Home again,
In the fluorescent
Kingdom of the constellations,
I will once again be called by
My soul’s true name.
And my heart,
It will flicker again,
With every memory from its many
Lifetimes,
And with every wish
Made by a child.

“Heavenly Fire by Stewart Stafford

The Stygian hole of abandon,
Overlaid with a sentry 's cloak,
Now unmasked eyes can see,
Perforations in astral ermine.

Stars crash to this plain,
In all their splintered finery,
As a missive of mortal status,
Decreeing fire is not of this earth.

Like the casting down of Lucifer,
Or Prometheus pirating Zeus's flame,
And when giant reptiles vanished,
Quiet gratitude for this deep shelter.
