“We are all made of star stuff” Because we are all teetering On this verge of glowing— And burning A glittering twinkle twisted in hope Or an impending explosion Carrying the potential of wishful serenity In the exterior of sparkling danger Holding a wistful beauty all the same If it makes us good — Or bad Depends on the day Stars were never so easy to explore And humans are near impossible to see In the end it’s our fallen remains That shoot across the sky for someone else To wish upon
