"We are stardust
we are golden
and we've got to get ourselves
back to the garden" - Joni Mitchell
In hallowed halls the ancients spun their tales
on how it was existence came to be
each version proffered as the holy grail
but in the end just vain philosophies
For though their quest was noble in its cause
the evidence presented often lacked
in verity, it gives the thinker pause-
true faith is based on certitude and fact
the poet sang of stardust and it's true
as all of God's creation shares a past
the elements within provide a clue
to miracles that stand as unsurpassed
in Eden mankind's story has its start-
where simple dust became the human heart
