Stars high up in the sky,
Spheres revolving upon spheres, fly.
Blowing, blowing, forever brewing,
The darkest of matter and energy ironically glowing.
Stars rise and stars die,
They, you, and I, forever in a tie.
Lapping dust by invisible space,
Always, forever, in a rapid pace.
Planets down and stars up,
Stars down and planets up,
Up in where, there is no up
There is no down.
All, forever, lost in the stellar town.
A pale blue dot,
A tiny tot,
A significant naught,
Is all- our home's ought.
Look up there,
And look in here,
Dust there,
As dust in here.
Then what is space?
And what is time?
The vastest of galaxies,
Spread across all axes,
Is but in you and me.
As vast and free as the space outside
Is the space within.
Right when time freezes,
Right where all motion ceases,
It's then and there, we rise.
They, you, and I, together arise.
Stars rise and stars die,
But in the beginning,
As in the middle,
And the end of it all,
They, you, and I, are as always been,
In a continuous free-fall.
