Betelguese glares
red defiance
from the cosmic wheel
Ice-blue Rigel,
returns the prompting gaze
from Orion's heel.
The Greeks fashion heroes,
monsters, and maidens
The Chinese shape creatures
of the earth and sky.
They allign the same stars
but find different pictures.
Why should the heavens care
for such as you and I.
The body electric
is quickened--
No longer stardust--
we are creatures shaped
in the crucibles
in the mysteries
that we ourselves
have dreamed.
Midnight's unmasking
catches us by surprise--
We cast aside
the victim's guise
to show ourselves
the myriad faces
of destiny and fate
perspective is everything... if the stars are tears perhaps we should cry more...(would suggest placing "body electric" in parentheses)

Wow. I like how you transcend from the more ancient, worldly view to one that's very personal and introspective, in regard to the celestial beauty you've already established. I'm glad I read this. :)
