Star Dust – written by Bal, Golden Ears Observatory
I closed my eyes to the imminent night
and fell asleep to the sound of light
wandering in a distant galaxy far away
where war and poverty isn’t seen any day
the stars clusters and glorious scenes my eyes behold
and the rainbow of colours in the nebulae unfold
I stopped by to watch a comet drift
into the dark abyss of a whirling lift
where current, future and the past are mixed
you, me and the quantum universe never exist
I moved ahead to a valley of stars
where giant explosions had left craters and scars
The creation and destruction never stop
churning atoms and photons in a messy blob
I heard a faint neutron star calling my name
and saw a bright quasar playing a game
my dreams disappeared with the ending night
the stars fading into a distant sight
I woke up with a muddled mind
but I knew whatever I saw was beautiful and kind
I know I will see it all again
maybe tomorrow or in a millennia
floating in space-time I will not rust
as I will always remain a mote of star dust…
