WE ARE STARDUST

WE ARE GOLDEN


Rossetta

Sorry God botherers  but this hippy shit seems to be true.




Well the stardust stuff anyway, not certain if a spacecraft has given gardening the thumbs up.

Bill Wells & Aiden Moffat The Greatest Story Ever Told

"an orchestrated pairing up
of friends of friends
one bearing up, the other sober for a change
laying low and acting strange
she wiggles by to catch an eye
he gets her name wrong, says goodbye
and soon love will thrive

there follows all the ups and downs
their laughters, tears, and smiles and frowns
of love and its attendant woes
just as every romance goes
perhaps we bore a little more
mortality jumps to the fore
but we all survive

somewhere unseen and deep inside
the lucky sperm and egg collide
the zygote's little cells divide
the morula goes for a ride
this tiny tryst makes blastocyst
and soon the mind and heart exist
and soon you arrive

without us, the world will still turn
and the sun still will burn
the faithful moon will wax and wane
and still it will rain
but who needs a world to impress
when there's love to confess?
and so begins our dynasty
a new family tree

and plenty of people will try and tell you where we came from. but we can only ever know what we can see. so tonight, look up to the sky. there's at least a hundred billion galaxies with a hundred billion stars and every single one could be a sun just like ours. you see, we're all just links in a chain and all life is finite. so use your time wisely, look after your teeth, and try not to hurt anyone. and remember: we invented love. and that's the greatest story ever told."

Love Jules

"Which one?"
"You know, that one about blue eyes and diamonds..."
"Oh", I said, "you must mean 'Diamonds And Rust,' the song I wrote for my husband, David. I wrote it while he was in prison."
"For your husband?" Bob said.
"Yeah. Who did you think it was about?" I stonewalled.
"Oh, hey, what the fuck do I know?"
"Never mind. Yeah, I'll sing it, if you like."
