Evening Under Heaven

Let the winds 
    howl outside
inside we have found
     our path 
Deep belief, passionate study
and struggle
have led us to this moment
The stars are beginning to
  glow
   The celestial bodies 
inside our hearts
are beginning to glow
    as well
   The depths of space
need not frighten us
   we can take joy
from the celestial orbs
    There is peace
to be found amongst 
      the stars
Let the rings of
Saturn
    be your guide
your stepping zone to the 
    infinite
when stars become 
    cinders we'll wait here
           on earth
for a shining rock 
      to come 
         hurtling 
    through our atmosphere
bringing gems of
        inestimable 
value
