You are built


From stardust,


Blood, death, life.


You are holy.


Your body is a temple.


Your body is a graveyard.

You are mortal,


Breath, sweat, tears,


Eventual death.

You are immortal,


Stardust, light, hope,


Never-ending existence.

Your troubles


Are temporary.


This too, shall pass.


Your pain


Is forever.


It makes you real.

The iron in your blood


Is found in the heart


Of dying stars.


The spark in your soul


Is found only


In you.
