The Way of the Stars

The sky at night will stay with me into the next life.

I look into the night sky and there they are again
A billion trillion glistening stars, they've now become my friends

They never fade, they never faulter, keeping us humans pleased
Where they begin and where they end, has always kept us teased

Like shining messages deep in the night, we wonder what they say
They greet us well every darkened night for a poets beautiful sway

Each light does shape a form in the sky, I'll never understand
The cosmos is a light for thinkers who write their names in sand

When I pass from Earth to heaven, I'll remember the way of the stars
And also memories of the love that God said could be all ours.
