Rock Stars!

By Saed J. Abu-Hijleh

We are rocks my dear and stars are still far
that is why we long for
the light
to enter every cell
so we can tell
the truth

We are stars my dear and soon we'll become rocks
like withering candles
time will come
when the flame
stops

But I have hope
that this voice
this very voice
of mine and yours
shall never fade away
and shall vibrate
at a steady rate
in every place
a mantra of love
that permeates
all of creation...

To my friend Jennifer with love, in response to a comment she made: "Really nice--makes us all look like rock stars!". I miss you JiJi :-)
