Caravan of Stars

The caravan of stars has been traveling,

For billions of years, since the beginning,

But we can watch them for a while,

During our lifetime and then we disappear,

And where do we go?

Do we go and join the stars?

Become a ray of light in the night?

 

Beautiful, beautiful fiery things,

Hanging in the sky,

I wish I could share your brightness,

And travel with you.

Perhaps I was a part of you,

Before being born in this world,

And so will become a bit of you,

After I cross the threshold.

 

Thus I too am like you,

Traveling through eternity,

Landing on this earth for sometime,

I too will join the caravan of stars,

After this short journey here.
