The stars that bore witness to your birth, make up your star sign;
It means that every nuance of your life, death, and your previous lives, are chartered-
Like the detailed maps guiding ships across vast oceans, by twilight,
Entrusted by sailors with their lives, since ancient times,
Silent sentinels standing unflinching witness to the happenings of human, animal & nature alike,
Undoubtedly, filling volumes with the detail of their observations of our lives-
Like scientists taking turns to obsessively record every little happening on a Petri dish ,
Adhering to strict control measures, at all times:
Observing cells form, meander & replicate, under microscopes,
Like watching a plant gradually grow from seed to flowering;
Measuring the passage of our centuries in milliseconds,
And charting the individual strands that makeup the course of our lives-
Creating an ever-evolving Muriel that belie the scary & beautiful human truth that is:
We can *all* change the stars of our lives!
