Though mind-bogglingly distant they are from us,
\nYet they reside in the stratosphere of our minds,
\nThe recesses of our hearts.<\/p>\n
Did we not live once on some star, at some distant time,
\nAs a subatomic particle,
\nWhich coalesced to form the agglomerate called a human being.<\/p>\n
These almost-eternal beacons of light are the soldiers of space,
\nThe source of energy and life ( at least around one star),
\nThe massive ones curve even light around them.<\/p>\n
They change colors and size with age as if to express their state of mind,
\nThey most often live in large clans,
\nAnd sometimes cannibalize each other as in some human tribes.<\/p>\n
Some of them die a heroic death with spectacular outburst,
\nPassing on to the eerie state of black-holes,
\nOthers dissolve into the ignominy of white dwarf-hoods.<\/p>\n
Stars are our distant dreams,
\nOur ancestors,
\nOur destiny is entwined with theirs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
