A billion distant stars shine bright,
Whose rays so long ago took flight.
The rays of distant stars are cold,
But once the source was hot we're told.
We must be told about their form
Yet were we there when they were warm..?
I wonder if our atoms might
Someday fuel a starry night.
You shouldn't be surprised to find
The whole universe within your mind.
