String, Donuts, Bubbles and Me

    Song of the Stars

    1997

    What note am I? What transcendent tone
    Which resonates in chords unknown
    And reverberates in harmony
    An unseen cosmic symphony?

    What grain am I? What magic dust
    Which congeals to form an earthy crust
    Of mountain, valley, beach and plain
    An unseen cosmic soul terrain?

    What spark am I? What burst of light
    Which dances over embers bright
    And flickers flames of deep desire
    An unseen cosmic questing fire?

    I am nothing and all, the same and unique
    The beginning I cherish, the end that I seek
    I am mortal, eternal, nearby and far
    An unseen cosmic song of the stars
