Cosmos

Cosmos

we live in a cloud of stardust

Hydrogen, helium, thyme

we think we are nothing

yet we are part of a vast universe

we think we are everything

yet we see nothing of our future selves

we are part of the suns, the galaxies, the moons

yet all the while no other will ever have our exact DNA

 

we live amongst all these tensions

these forces that seem so inanimate

yet everyday we find more who are alive

 

we live in a cloud of stardust

hydrogen, helium, and thyme

none of it eternal

all of it sublime

 

all of it in eternal rhyme

 

each of us making a difference
