Cast in amber shadows
Slow the thick light gathering
Slow the evening’s long embrace
The moon’s sigh soft in the clouds
And drifting down
Stardust showers us
In the shadows time’s passage
These stardust mountains and valleys
This end of eons, far from the stars
At the far side of the turning wheel
In amber shadows end the day
Once two vast stars danced
Together their heavenly minuet
Burst in wild ecstasy, spinning and turning
Burst in wild ecstasy, fire and burning
Now together we dance
Slow to the memory
In each other’s arms,
Of when we were once stars!
The elements that constitute the bodies that we wear now, were forged in the hearts of long dead stars. This stikes me as incredibly romantic.
