Immortal Star

In the twinkling twilight glitter that reflects from off your car
are my glints from ‘cross a billion miles of far off distant stars.
Your learned say we stars have died and yet our light still keeps
to race across the gaps of galaxies light-years love to leap.

When we explode, blasting forth the elements in our light,
we feed the newborn stars in stellar cribs who nurse thru night
on gold and silver, nickel and copper, mercury, carbon and zinc
to grow an Earth that grew a man who’s now our future link.

Most million years we lived and laughed to dance galactic Space
as orbs of light which in your eyes were blinks of spectral grace
and as we dim to be no more, our light stays pure and just
when in the mirror you reflect the stardust made of us.

From death comes life, a natural law that governs even stars
who send light ‘cross a billion miles to land upon your car
and tell you true that you are Man, a legacy made of we
who waited for you to carry within our immortality.
