Coyote Poets of the Universe

About Me

A comet plants its seed into this embryonic earth... We are born from the stardust... we are outer space at birth... Into our inner spaces... Out from our outer faces... The flicker of light... in the eye of the Angel... A figure of speech in the kingdom of silence... We are meteors... burning in this atmosphere... We will shine until we drop... We will blaze until we stop... We will bring our love to you... a comet in the ocean... Love... as perpetual motion...
