Lyrics
And all around me
Surrounded by the elements of existence
All this is made of me
Everything is a part of me
They will remain in me
Memories and influences persist within me
My garden of stars
Metaphorical space of personal significance
And in the velvet night
During the serene night
In all that crystal light
In the brilliance of crystalline illumination
Shine, shine, sweet light
An urging for radiant brightness
So old and clear
Ancient and transparent
These billion years will end
The vast expanse of time concluding in the individual
These billion years will end
-These billion years will end
-They end in me
The culmination of time within oneself
They end in me
-And how then could it be
Reflecting on the improbability of existence
That we appear at all?
Questioning the origins of our presence
In all this rock and fire
Existence amid solid matter, energy, and celestial substances
In all this gas and dust
-Are we not each a flame?
Individuals compared to flames, unique and bright
All born to live in light
Birthright to live in illumination
All born to give our light
Destined to share our brilliance
How could it be?
Ruminating on the nature of being
How should it be?
Contemplating the proper state of existence
And all around me
Continued acknowledgment of the surroundings
And all around me
-And all around me
-My garden of stars
Personal cosmic sanctuary
