Burn as they Burn



The heavens are embedded

With a myriad of stars

That we earthlings look upon

Each night

In wonder



In

Spi

Ring



We sometimes assume

That the brightest stars

Are greatest, but we forget

That they are

Merely closest



De

Ving



Billions of stars are burning,

Billions of stars are named,

And in this way,

They are all

Alike



Un

Var

Ying



Although not all earthlings can see

All of the stars at the same time,

Or even at all,

God sees

Each one



Sep

We are the burning stars with names,

We are burning consequential fires

Let us burn as they burn

Whether man sees

Or not



Relent

Less
