From a star

From a star

The stars light the way, stepping night into day
All the while us not knowing - take us forward as they're going

When the stars' light gives rise, thereby reaching our eyes
It's a mystery to stare at a thing long not there

We can see what's about, as each star flickers out
That the days long since dead, are still racing ahead

We leave and remain with as much loss as gain
Adding new constellations of perpetual creations

We cannot catch the light if we sleep through the night
Nor give birth a new oldness its timeless foreknown-ness*

I'll look between the unseen to see where I have been
Just let your star light my way through the night
