As The Stars Turn

Swiftly now the Stars are turning

Quicker go the Sun and Moon

Through the Stars; I am yearning

Softly saying, the time is soon

Faster now the Earth is spinning

Ever slower beats my heart

I am far from the beginning

Traveled far from my start

Slowly now, the Stars are turning

East to West across the sky

With them I feel the burning

Little time now ‘til I die

Slowly as the Earth is spinning

 A slowed beating is my heart

I am now at my beginning

This is the place where I start
