Stars

Stars!
So many there are.
Bright, dim, seen, unseen.
Dare we dream afar?
Heed!
Learn from yesterday
What works and what not,
Lest failures repeat.
Stars!
So near, yet so far.
Shapes within we dream,
Curious we are.
Heed!
That come as what may
Unbound by past's knot
New futures create.
Look!
Into the night sky,
But don't ask God why
He put them up there.
Wake!
From aeons of sleep
Titan's potential
Fully realised.
Look!
Start to wonder why
We aren't in the sky
Our destiny there.
Wake!
From Youth must we keep
All the strength vital,
Leave behind our vice.
Hark!
Hear their quiet call
Challenging us all:
"Go beyond thyself!"
Hark!
Pay attention, all
To our Nature's call:
"Go beyond thyself!"
