Cosmic Reflections

[Doug's Shack]

Stardust courses through our mortal veins,
As time's swift river carves its ceaseless way.
We're waves that ripple through eternal plains,
Ephemeral actors in the cosmic play.

The universe, through us, beholds its face,
We're puzzle pieces in its grand design.
Each breath exhaled, a galaxy's embrace,
Each thought, a comet's trail across our mind.

Like heartbeats, mountains rise and fall in time,
While galaxies perform their silent dance.
We're fireflies aglow in night sublime,
Our fleeting lives, a momentary glance.

From sand to stars, we're clay of cosmic art,
The universe's consciousness, its heart.
