Do stars look to the heavens and marvel at their surroundings?
Might they gossip over a neighbor’s blueshift or trails of cosmic dust
as they redshift on their path to eternity?
Might they take note of an illuminated marble suspended in the velvet darkness
And wonder if it’s possible that intelligent life exists there?
“See how magnificent she is – like none we have ever encountered before,” one might point out to another. “Surely, love and compassion have made a home there.”
“Perhaps,” says the other. “Perhaps not.”
“If you ask me,” interrupts the moon,
“I think they are still working on it.”

Excellent. I love the thought of the stars discussing the sometimes stupidity of humans – okay, maybe more than sometimes stupidity 🙂

We are a foolish race to squander such beauty. We surely need more compassion for our home.
