Stars Have always felt Otherworldly to me Have always felt Like some sort of celestial being Have always felt More powerful than any mortal And standing down here With them up so high looking at them pepper across the sky It’s sometimes hard to see them As anything But godlike And then I remember That I am also made of stardust That the atoms that form my body Once formed a star And the hydrogen That’s in me now Was once apart Of a celestial body And that in some small way I am part god That everyone Is part god That we all share This heavenly heritage And oh What a wonderful thing that is - Heather Meatherall
