I Am A Million Stars

The warmth of a lifetime lived with love Cocoons my failing mind The memories drift like flakes of snow Precious but left behind My body, withered, frail and worn Has swayed it’s final dance Now foetal limbs, curl once again As I float in to the expanse Emptiness becomes a reality As infinity unravels it’s core I am everything, but also nothing I am rich, but also poor My naked heart no longer beats My blood has ceased to ebb But the pulsating drum of the universe Has caught me in it’s web I am a million stars, you see I’m the moon and sun and sky I’m not gone, I’m here, but I am free I’m everywhere, I didn’t die!
