“SONG OF THE STARI am nothing but oxygen and hydrogen,A luminous sphere of plasmaHeld together by helium and gravity,And like a balloon I float on earth,Waiting to be released back into the sky,Waiting to go back in the reverseDirection from which I came,Traveling through a warm tunnel of light,And out into a cold, dark abyssWhere I will explode into a thousand pieces.I shall leave behind my body,Just like air abandons the skin of a shattered balloon,And the magnetic dust that carries myHeart and spirit will lift us backTo congregate and shineWith the stars.Home again,In the fluorescentKingdom of the constellations,I will once again be called byMy soul’s true name.And my heart,It will flicker again,With every memory from its manyLifetimes,And with every wishMade by a child.SONG OF THE STAR by Suzy KassemCopyright 1993”
