they say when you put your finger into the sea
you're connected to the whole world
but when i touch your skin...
i feel like i'm connected to the whole universe
to every atom in your body which was once a part
of some other being, some other thing
star, water, air, earth, animal, human
and when i think about it more and more
seems like i'm attached to you because
maybe - just maybe - some atoms in my body
were once part of some other being,
some other thing, along with yours.
and i believe more and more in carl sagan's quote that
"we are not figuratively, but literally stardust."
