Origami Stars
*
A wind came along, and we were set free
away from two places, where we used to be.....
Circling and settling, folding over and over again,
until the shape we once knew, was made into new
Origami stars, one sun, one moon, one world
Where outside, looking in, eyes can't see where we connect;
Built to be strong, but light as the air
Built to face winds, and that tumble and tear
With strength to face night when dark stays too long
Never will we understand the shifts and strains of wayward winds
that whirl, and rattle and open fate's own door
The knowing why is not what counts, what matters deeply more...
is when I reach my hand to touch this vaporous thing...
it is too impossible to define
Mortal words cannot explain, .......... nothing to see, nothing to touch,
just the faint breath of us
A truth, not myth....that final sleep cannot erase....
So sure this breath of life we share
is reason enough, that we are here
