LIGHT

     
     
Light exploding and coalescing    
Ever changing even this night    
Look up and be struck    
Not by shooting stars    
But by the existence of so many stars    
Than our Earth has clocked seconds    
     
3.5 billion earth years    
Times 365 days    
Times 60 minutes    
Multiplied by 24 hours    
Times 60 seconds    
Plus years that leap    
   
And each star we find we name      
With names older than our forefathers      
With names our ancestors gave them      
Each a guide and each a fate foretold    
Each as perfectly placed as you    
     
Let the light of one of them travel to you      
And fill you  
Now do the same    
With a      
           second    
.    
.    
.    
second filled with light    
And it said    
Know 3 things
You are not a mind    
And you are not a body    
So pay no mind to no body else
