Analysis of Written In The Stars



Written In The Stars

Written in the stars is my body and soul
And I am made by Love Divine
The same love is star stuff in me
Author of every single atom
From the day I first breathed
And opened my eyes to the world
I am filled with gratitude
Blessed into existence
With kindness and beauty
No one can take away.

Written in the stars is life’s play in verse
And I am composed for compassion
The original magic that brings me
Here to beat in my heart
Shines through as sparkles
Radiant energy and fire
Bringing generous warmth
Illuminating the shadows
Becoming the beauty
I see through eyes of love.

Written in the stars is the ultimate truth
Love conquers all and is the answer
To the questions and the cause
Saturating selfishness
Innumerable suffering
Spreading the lie
We aren’t one
You and I are connected
The Universe is evidence
Light, not darkness, is our destiny.
