Analysis of Stardust.
I'm such a sap for poetry,
I lay amongst this grove of trees.
The sky so blue, my heart anew
My heart abides the evening too.
The stars above are all in love,
Just laying there, content above
I used to be just stardust too
A soundless cloud, a faceless plume
But now I'm ego, now I'm Id
My mind is spilling with no lid
My life a song, yet time goes on
Ever on, forever on.
