Anatomy of the Night

We are star dust
Living under the light
Of a thousand stars.
They are our inheritance.
The universe flows  
Through our veins.
We both emit light
And reflect light.
We are both wished upon
And we are  
Someone's dream.
Our dimples twinkle  
When we smile.
We are radiant  
Until time stands still,
And the seas walk backward,
And other stars  
Are collapsing,
But we grow
Into a supernova,
Something more beautiful  
Than we were before.
So, in that dusky moment  
When you realize the day is still  
Within your reach,  
But it won't be  
Much longer.  
Let the wind change your plans,
Let the late evening's
Yellow light sweeten
Your attitude,
Let the rain change your mood,
Let the dusk brighten  
Your spirit,
Look up at the stars.
Let their light carry you through  
And the darkness set you free.
Because we are star dust,
See how we shine!
