Special

I remember one sunset long ago;
I raised my eyes and raised a smile
As embracing twilight revealed to me
A rich tapestry
Of constant yet ever-changing stars.

Heaven knows why,
But on that night
I saw the stars as beacons
Signalling a message
Across the dark ocean of space.
And as I stood alone in silence
I heard - I felt - these words:

"The fire that drives the Cosmos
Is the spark that lights your soul,
Because everything you know
And everything you are
Was once at the heart
Of a Star".

Just then, I came alive,
Aglow inside
With these simple realisations :
We are a part of all this.
And our purpose is simply
To wonder, to enjoy,
To love, to live.

Time and again,
As I bathe in the light
Of countless suns
These whispers from Heaven
Leave me breathless
Leave me silent.
