Time to fly

 Stardust

 

We are the souls of dying stars

Cooling til no spark remains.

Within us lies the source of light

If we but try to glow again.

Like flares across a moonless night

We once again can soar and shine

The cost is only to ignite

and burn into a fiery rain.

Let not the fear of burning out

hold back your spark or stop your flight

For if you fail to pay the cost,

You fall unsung through blackest night.

Round and round we go.

 Cycles

Round and round the wheel spins

time to pass and come again

Weaving fate and weaving chance

Twirling in an endless dance.

Things they come and things they go

yet come again, the mystic knows

Passing down across the years

All our trials, all our fears.

Reflections

Night in the Desert

It's two am, the heat has died
The wind blows dry and sweet
The moon, a pearl, in the sky
Warm sand around my feet.
