Scintillating

sparkle sparkle sparkling
scintillating light
shimmer shimmer shimmering
even in the night

in the early morning
before the Sun bursts forth
twinkle twinkle twinkling
stars from south to north

overhead and underfoot
although we cannot see
earth is mostly empty space
just like you and me

atoms spin in spirals
the space that's in between
electric currents flow in
consciousness a stream

in which we all are drifting
floating on and on
meandering and splashing
feeling we belong

shimmer shimmer shimmering
even in the night
sparkle sparkle sparkling
we're scintillating light
