I will inhabit a dreaming starfish
and without senses
conjure a world of spirit

I think a starfish best
would know where heaven stands

I will extend my pentacle arms
and feel like a compass
where the final magnet guides me:
to infinite metal gates and a core
of molten platinum
brighter than light

I think my spirit flies without
vision scent and sound
and only knows to drift
towards sun-like warmth
of bursting radiance

I will abandon my human
and drift in pulsing echoes
through nothingness

I think I've found my home
amidst waves that
Surge over me
in gentle nuzzles
and warm hugs,
that wrap me
like mother's blankets
and father's arms

This is so beautiful. :D I think a starfish is a clever metaphor for the relationship between basic instincts and spirituality, or finding inner light, one's experiences reduced to essentials in meditation. A starfish is also a sort of a living pentacle as you point out - and they do say the points of a pentacle refer to the four limbs and the head of a magician. :)
