A Life Amongst The Stars

I stared in awe at the night sky,

bearing stars that told stories of a time before we were—

threads woven into the fabric of the universe.

A time before we were:

the ones who fell in love with life,

ignoring the clamor of death.

A time before we were:

the flowers that bloomed in the garden of existence.

A time before we were:

the hand that threw the rock

that disturbed a still lake.

A time before we were:

the ones who told stories of a life unknown,

never to witness the beginning

or the ending of their own.

Existence is strange and mysterious.

It is not something we should take for granted,

because we are either the luckiest beings on this planet

or the greatest miracle to have ever happened

throughout the reaches of the universe.

Cherish life.

Live life.

Just live.

Fall in love with life again
