Dream and Day

The difference between a star and the Sun.
All of them are long gone dead except one.
Even the nearest ones just out of our reach
are on the fast track slipping into death's lane.
Just behind us in line it will be our turn next. 
On whose shores will the echoes of our radiance
appear upon and on the surface of whose eyes
will the image of our light continue to shine? 

But what if we could teleport in an instant 
to any distant star and see through the eyes
of each other? Receive the impressions of who
we are and what we each feel and experience.
No matter how strange and far it may seem
we have nothing to really fear past the fence 
except our own expectation of willful ignorance.
The sun comprises nearly 99 percent of the mass
of the total solar system covering a terrain 
that is an astonishing distance from the Sun.
