Stardust

Stardust

A Poem by Royce Earnest Rasmussen
"

With Stardust, I sought to capture the essence of the sublime beauty and interconnectedness of the universe.

"
In the quiet chambers of twilight's embrace,
where shadows dance on the edges of perception,
whispers of forgotten dreams linger,
like echoes of a symphony lost in the recesses of time.

A solitary moon weaves tales in silver threads,
illuminating the tapestry of the night,
each star a silent witness to the cosmic ballet,
a celestial waltz that transcends mortal understanding.

Beneath the vast expanse, the earth sighs,
its heartbeat a rhythm of eons,
and in the symphony of existence,
every being plays a note, a fleeting melody.

Mist-clad mountains stand sentinel,
their ancient souls etched with the scars of epochs,
while rivers carve narratives into the flesh of the land,
a timeless journey eternally etched in liquid verses.

The wind, a nomad traversing horizons unseen,
carries whispers of distant lands,
and as it brushes against the skin of the world,
it tells tales of forgotten civilizations and uncharted realms.

Amidst this cosmic orchestration, we are but stardust,
fragments of eternity bound by the ephemeral,
walking the tightrope between the finite and the infinite,
a paradoxical dance of mortality in the arms of the everlasting.
