Analysis of We’re Active Stardust
Earthbound, but in space.
Traversing the sun.
We’re ancient astronauts,
With kinetic energy.
In active cosmic dances.

About this poem
Just imagine it. As ancient cosmic stardust, ever being transformed, forever in motion, never stationary, we’re always prancing spritely, in celestial dance, with the elements of the universe.
