Star-Born

The stars are not lanterns 
hung by gods...
they are observers, 
ancient scribes 
etching the memory 
of the universe
into the dark scroll 
of night.

They invite us to wonder,
to dream...
to remember 
that we are made 
of the same fire
that burns in Orion’s chest
and sleeps 
in the cradle 
of the Milky Way.
