Laughter Steers the Stars

We have meditated on the cycle of birth and death Seen wonders, seen horrors But now we are beginning to realize that laughter steers the stars Few dawns remain for us to revel in the hourglass is running out In the midst of our revelations We reach out and eat the apples of the sun Laughter steers the stars

Good descriptive handling of metaphors in this piece. By the way, did you mean "piece" and not "piee" when you posted your comment on my poem?
