We are all Stardust
We should follow the universe's lead and be harmonious
We are made of stardust, connected to the cosmos and the unseen
Forever wanting to connect, but never seem to see the seam
Between the seen and the unseen, entwining the universe and us
We are a part of it, as it is a part of us
The complexity of the universe, comparable to within
As the brain informs the move, the tides are informed by the moon
As veins spread like rivers within, and the black hole pulling everything in
A universe exists within us
As the white knights defend against disease, the ozone defends against what the sun decrees
The universe reflected within us. From the skin down to tiny atoms
We are connected.
Yet often there appears
Differences
The universe is harmonious and balanced
Yet humans can’t stand each other
Its seems creating differences is our talent
Harmony exists in the world
From how the moon with its gravity chauffeurs
To the crocodile and the tiny Egyptian Plover
Why don't we try to get closer?
Harmony appears in the unlikeliest of places, so there’s still hope
That humanity can recognise they are designed to be a collective
Not mechanised with their approach, and imperceptive
To others around, simply due to perceived contrasts
I hope they fold within the rest of existence and craft
Harmony…
The hate they should outlast.

I write fiction, poetry and occasional articles about interesting topics.
Finding interesting ways to write a poem or hide messages within them seems to be my main interesting in writing now, and it's been fun
Violence Begets
"Any last words, cowboy?" "None you'd understand, sodbuster." "Funny. That's Marshall Sodbuster to you. But I meant some last nugget that would help us in the adjudication of the myriad offenses counted against you and your gang. I wasn't asking for penitence."

This is a wonderful one, Mohammed!! I love it!
A wonderfully inspirational poem, Mohammed! The first line brought to mind an old Joni Mitchell song, "Woodstock." It was written about the hippy movement, but the chorus has always stuck in my mind: "We are stardust We are golden And we've got to get ourselves Back to the garden" This is probably my favorite version of the song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qIHfuihoz70
