Can we reflect the stars,
The blue-tinged galaxies, spinning arks of light and dark,
And the bright, full-beaming sunrise?
Can we reflect the stars,
The caramel-rich universe, brimming fullness of space and time,
And the glorious, sun-steeped dusk?
How do we reflect the lights we are given
And the love that lives in them?
Can we reflect the stars,
The red-hued nebulas, billowing pillars of creation,
And the shimmering auroras?
How do we reflect the loves we are given
And the light that lives in them?
