Lineage - Momentum

Humanity, curious and fearful of its own existence

seeking place and purpose, in directions moving endlessly forward

yet side to side dodging inevitable truths

seemingly alone in a vast expanse of nothingness, both outside and within

from birth to death, longing for guidance and security

and all the while hoping these things will be found upon the earth

and yet we gaze to the stars for connection

points of fire above, reflecting points of inspired hope within

we breathe deep into the night, terrified of the darkness

motivations become twisted when insecurity takes control

to be corrupted is the easy path, but the real answer has been there all along

the stars are ancestors, forecasting the future for us through their sense of

eternity

perhaps we are destined to follow them through the sky

transforming over immense stretches of time so vast

they make our entire history seem like a drop of water in an endless sea

stars have shaped every facet of our being

we owe our existence and continued survival to daydreams at night

to spheres of super heated gasses that crowd the night sky

offering a sense of endless distance and calm

seen as forefathers and gods, mothering and close

from afar the turbulent expulsion of matter and energy from the inception of

the universe, brings from their first moments, atom bound to atom

cast out from their celestial womb, molded by the vigorous hand of gravity

a release of elemental power, forming suns, cooling into planets

the worlds within.

so intrinsic to our being, yet so simple at the core

the explanation always above us, radiating heat and light

the fundamental truth, that within us the radiance

our brilliance reflected, do we dare to let ourselves know

that we, at our core

we are made of stars.
