Like Sagan said, Starstuff is what we all are made of;
Those cosmic lights that shine bright in the sky above.
The nebulous universe is the place of our birth.
Our electrons’ coalescence,
Which emanated from the cosmos’ efflorescence,
Also give fireflies and jellyfish their bioluminescence.

The elements in our corporeal form,
Pumping in our veins,
Racing through our bloodstream,
They too make the stars gleam.

But while we may be stardust,
Gold and glittering, it’s
Okay to remember:
Our light may sometimes be flickering.
Because dirt is vital to the earth;
For even the most elegant flower
Sprouted from soil to birth.
