The stuff of stars

These things from which were crudely hewn
And in this expanse shaped and formed
Give way to heart and hate and fires
that burn and fiercely do refine

 
 These things from which were crudely hewn 
 And in this expanse shaped and formed
 Give way to  heart and hate and fires
  that burn and fiercely do refine
  
 This love that cuts and scars run deep
 warm laughter hollow peaks then fades
 And darkness melts at growing light 
 Which swells and soars, illuminating.
  
 So come what will, we bend unbroken
 Buffeted by winds of change
 and edges soften, time moves onwards
 rearranged and stained and aged.
  
 Now take this thing I have become 
 With artists eye see shape and form 
 And lines, deep colours, shades and tones
 this creation ever changing.
