Jewels of the sky, you are
Blanketed by great silent clouds.
You abound in the vast open Space,
Twinkling, so inviting to my trembling
Soul.
I want to float endlessly with you
My brothers and celestial sisters.
I want to know how to reach your
Warmth, your kind light.
But here I remain, as much a part
Of you as I am a part of the Earth,
With her soft, loving looks.
What has Man done to deserve
Such a comfortable prison?
For just as I yearn to join the
Company of Stars,
I know I belong in the loamy
Expanses of my dearest Gaia.
Bless these eyes, they give me
Your light, reflected
