[inspired by stargazing in TN and "Cactus in the Valley" by Lights]
Sprinkled through the sky
Million-fold population
Just particles
Air & matter
We are
No glory of our own
Until you lit us
And we live
Alive
I felt the dark
Between my fingers
Blindfolded
Encased in sorrow
Letting the unlit
Define me
Forgotten membership
Among the starry host
Of witnesses
Ignited
Dearly known
Counted tenderly
An imperfect galaxy
Now filled with
Flickering inconsistencies
Like me
All lit by love
Which cannot die out
We are bright
Eternally
Between my fingers
Blindfolded
Encased in sorrow
Letting the unlit
Define me
Forgotten membership
Among the starry host
Of witnesses
Ignited
Dearly known
Counted tenderly
An imperfect galaxy
Now filled with
Flickering inconsistencies
Like me
All lit by love
Which cannot die out
We are bright
Eternally

That last stanza, oh! Redeemed that His light in us will shine forever and ever.
Oh, I really rather like this one, Kristen!
"Forgotten membership
Among the starry host
Of witnesses
Ignited" hmm :)
