Starlight

As it parades across the summer sky, the sun
beckons the face of every  sunflower to follow her,
each enchanted heart bound to the heart
of our celestial ancestor by the light shared between stars.

All turn entranced and beguiled, almost in worship
of the life-giving day, and the power of sunshine
that flows through each vein of every leaf
is captured and transmuted into the energy and potential
of the next generation of sunflowers,  and in turn
the starlight becomes the bee and the snail,
and everything that has ever lived.

I call my style “Stardust” because everything is made from stars,
even the rocks and the oceans began in the embers of
dead and dying suns, and the twisting threads that run
between each of my stars represents
the cosmic web that holds each galaxy in place
and guides them across the universe.

“The cosmos is within us. We are made of star-stuff. We are
a way for the universe to know itself.” - Carl Sagan
