Waking Up

(OB1 said)

Cosmic birth,
The Universe unfolding stardust
Into the emptiness of space . . .

Star birth,
Ancestor star,
Living, growing, bursting again,
Galactic nursery of our kind . . .

Sun igniting,
Earth condensing
From the cloudic nebula . . .

Earth,
The Sun’s companion,
Primordial life soup of stardust
Coming alive . . .

Stardust,
Crawling from the sea,
Evolving,
The myriad host of living things . . .

One night
I looked into the night sky
And saw my birthing in the stars,
And understood
I am the Universe
Conscious of itself . . .
