Frequency

If time
Was a universe,
The lives of the world
Would be the stars.
Constantly exploding
And reforming.
These stars
Are created
From the dust
Of the stars before them.

You cannot
Count the stars,
Because they quickly
Disappear
In the face
Of eternity.
Not to say
That you don't see the stars,
For we recall
The stars that flash the brightest.

The frequency
Of these flashes
From stars that have reached
Their end
Becomes greater
As the universe expands.
Soon the earliest lights
Are forgotten,
Because bigger,
Brighter stars emerge.

You
Must not forget
That these brightest of stars
Came once from the dust
Of the stars before them.
The brightest
of the earliest,
Live on
In the flashes of light
That follow.
