The Stars Remain

When our lives are over and our mortal being has withered to dust. When our remains are scattered amongst the prevailing wind, the stars will remain to guide those who follow in our footsteps through time. The stars will remain embedded in the velvet night. Millions and millions of them up where we perceive heaven somewhere lies. We are told all of us have one, a star that will always remain to shine bright. A star to guide the lost on a cold and lonely night, a star to look down on all creation for as long as it survives. The stars will remain no matter what we do. They remain there forever embedded in the velvet night. 9 December 2011
