In the immense dark distance
Those tiny diamonds of light
A multitude of sizes silently ignite
Held captive in cold bright space
Trillions of far away fires
Millions of years transpire
A world outside but felt within
Growing, shrinking seldom seen
To comprehend but only in our dreams
Breathed, born and borne
Named in silence, known in violence
The stars, the sky, the call of highness
Those tiny diamonds of light
A multitude of sizes silently ignite
Held captive in cold bright space
Trillions of far away fires
Millions of years transpire
A world outside but felt within
Growing, shrinking seldom seen
To comprehend but only in our dreams
Breathed, born and borne
Named in silence, known in violence
The stars, the sky, the call of highness
