Star Stuff

by Karen
(Vermont)

You and me,
We are star stuff--
The stuff of which the Universe is made
Billions and billions of years old--
The stuff of the trees, flowers, rivers and lakes,
The stuff of oceans deep and mysterious
Mountains of granite, gold and silver, precious gems
We are all that! No less.

You and me,
We are star stuff --
Born of the microcosmic essence of the Seen and the Unseen,
Born of the essence of the Infinite Universe.
Together, we are one with God.
Brilliant, ancient, nutrient-rich, every-lasting stars.
We are all that! No less.
