Immortal Star

In the twinkling twilight glitter that reflected off your car
were 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 realms of galaxies light-years love to leap.

When we exploded blasting forth all elements in our light,
it fed the newborn stars in stellar cribs who nursed thru night.
Our gold and silver, nickel and copper, mercury, carbon and zinc
did grow an Earth which 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 and are no more our light stays pure and just
when in the mirror you reflect an image made of us.

From death came life, a natural law that governs even stars
who sent 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.
