A step to the side (fire and ice)

 


We are formed from fire and ice,

stardust and comets.

We explored the cosmos

in a previous life.

Burning suns,

blinding lights.

That all still lives inside

in the molecules that collide.

We are still wide-eyed explorers

where all we seek

is found just a step to the side.

 

We are dust and ashes

blowing through a galactic sunrise.

We just ignore how connected we are

to the universe outside.

We hide in our little worlds,

following herds to the same

worn down pastures,

when so many new experiences

are just a step to the side.

 

Look up. What do you see?

Just blackness?

Or perhaps you see a canvas

on which to paint, in neon lights,

a ballroom for us to dance,

when we feel the high

of the cosmic music

that plays from all the worlds

that lay just a step to the side.

 

We are stardust confetti

mixed with the universal threads,

like spaghetti curled around a fork in the road,

drizzled with a tomato sauce to die for.

We live to be more,

not just to walk the same beaten path

we have walked a million times before.

Not to fight, not to hate or start wars,

but to love all there is, it’s not that hard.

We are meant to explore, not just outside

but within, take a hold of your feelings and

let your fingers trace the reasons,

the meanings. Let yourself step to the side

and look with a new perspective at life.
