    Hoping
    We are made of star stuff;
    Our bones of quicksilver and moonlight.
    In our sinews are longings
    Which cannot be satisfied
    On such a dusty rock as Earth;
    Proof we are meant to live forever.
    Evidence - a faint trail
    Left upon our souls,
    By Him.

    A lovely little gem which has satisfied me. Is it left upon our souls by Him or Us? Are We not Him, the star dust?

    Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It's that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that's what the poet does.

    Allen Ginsberg (1926-1997) U.S. poet.
