out by the pillars of creation
where stars are born: in their gestation
they gather in all manner dust
until it burns, as burn it must
burns with desire to give light
exploding outward with delight
ha -- there it is, another twinkle
what is God thinking, when he sprinkles
these fireflies across the sky?
we know the how
not yet the why
