A Symphony of Stardust
We exist on a 4.5 billion year old rock,
Floating in an unfathomable expanse
Of nothingness, a cosmic speck,
You and I, a fleeting speck.
We are magnetically held in place
By an invisible force, a cosmic embrace,
Along with 8 billion other people,
A tapestry of life, a cosmic steeple.
Every single thing that exists on this rock
Is without doubt a work of art,
So intricately crafted, a masterpiece,
We will never truly discover the scope of wonder within.
We are made of the same elements
As everything that naturally surrounds us,
Just shaken up differently, a cosmic jest,
And oh so magnificently, a cosmic test.
Look at us, my friends, a cosmic sight,
We are breathtaking, a cosmic delight,
Our breath alone, a cosmic sound,
The power in that act is breathtaking, profound.
Everything you are doing right now,
Reading, feeling, understanding,
Is fascinatingly complex, a cosmic vow,
And yet we spend our days worrying about things
That are of no significance at all, big-picture.
Walk around your world today,
With awe in your eyes, a cosmic ray,
And really see what you are living,
A cosmic adventure, forever giving.
Every aspect of this life
Is nothing short of astonishing, a cosmic strife,
And this rock we are clinging to with ease
Is astounding, a cosmic tease.
Eyes open, reach out, breathe deep,
Take it all in, a cosmic leap,
This rock, our home, a cosmic stage,
Will know each of us
For only a heartbeat in its timeline.
Leave only love, a cosmic seed,
Live with only gratitude, a cosmic creed,
Look with only wonder, a cosmic plea,
A symphony of stardust, you and me.
