When I look to the sky,
I know...
I know I used to be there,
a small clump of atoms in the stars of someone else's sky,
As I peer back 13.7 billion years,
I know...
I know I am watching a legacy unfold,
I know I see the cosmic embryo of others like me,
When the Sun grow too large,
and I cannot see the other stars,
my atoms will return from whence they came,
never to think the same thoughts again
But, Oh, I hope that is not my end,
To join another gas cloud and condense again,
around a brilliant source of light,
to spring from the primordial swamps again,
to look up inspired and take flight,
Back to the Cosmos that gave me life,
I am stardust, and I wish to be in the skies again,
a beacon in the skies of aliens,
professing a heeded message of an immortal poem,
back to the depths of darkness and become light,
my final journey home,
When I look to the sky,
I wish...
I wish to go... home
