Rebekah Cane - 'We Watched Stars'

We Watched Stars

We watched stars
On the journey home
And then later
We watched stars again
And again, on a screen
In my room
Becoming our room.

Those same satellites
We observed
Have served so many
Wondering souls,
Now being our time
To reflect

And acknowledge
A kind of temporary
Permanence,
The one we call
Our time
And our space.
