Some Stars
These are amazing, each
Fleeting with the light of each other
As a performance in the night
Arranged by chance
Floating like trees in morning
To meet as far as the eyes can see
As far as things can travel
Exploding to tell us that
ii
Life is everywhere
Something so simple
Like oceans or trees but more distant
Gazing into history with a chorus
Of smiles and a canvas that
Felt like the face of eternity
Placed in a puzzle of so many pebbles
As to dance by the waves
iii
In the sunshine, moving slowly
Across the skies with their
Own accents, own astrology
An astronomy of amazing indifference
Fortitude, prophecy, design
Intelligence in a quantum physics kind of way
These are joining a neighbour or moving
Towards a friend, and does it mean something?
The way they double up, have baby planets
Disappear, we may touch, love, explain….
