Life of Star People

Blinking faces Pools of light for eyes Communicating with small touches Murmurs of affirmation Keeping quiet Cutting paper hearts that glow in the dark Veins filled with phosphenes Mirrors for cars, rain for mirrors Talking with strangers in nightly dreams. This life is transient yet eternal Has no beginning Has no end Rings of Saturn, Halos that no one can have Because you're not an angel And you have no wings to spread Just waiting, sand clocks trickling with the speed of light Blessed with nature, blessed with existence.
