By Billie Potts

Golden yellow sun
Rises just before
My heart stops beating

My soul rising from my corpse
Out the window
Into the world I go

Memories keep my soul afloat
Swimming through the atmosphere
Dancing across the land and sea
Free am I to travel the universe

But when my memory fades
And the echoes wane
From stardust to stardust
My soul faded
I glitter and shine
And sink back into
The sun, my birthplace
Among the stars
