Do Not Mourn the Stars

time is of no consequence
life will carry out its eternal sentence

blow by blow we return vertical
nothing remains but the eternal

do not mourn the stars, as they move us
the curse of time is all but a fuss

when stars die, they drown the light
no control, no matter how much man made might

no god, no saviour among the living
only love and love remains for giving

among the distance and eternal youth
love becomes life's sleuth 

what remains under light's guardian? 
only love can bring me home again.
