The Major Star

The major star who was hundreds of centuries old was finally dieing yet not in vain, for with its death comes new life and new planets formed as it splinters Water so cool and clear life giving to all our worlds stars birth formed you As a star dies the gases ignite and fuse into droplets these then are carried to other worlds to start new life Scientists believe that all life came from these deaths Moonshine beams dancing causing flickering shadows that dance joyously Our own moon and all the sun's orbiting planets were formed in one of these explosions. All we see and touch came from a dieing major star Sunbeams hit the water refracting and enhancing the crystal river Sometime in the future our own major star the Sun will die leaving life as we know it gone yet as prophets have said death is the start of rebirth so lets enjoy our stars Stars hide their faces behind the fluffy white cloud just an odd twinkle

Formations lead to reformations and again formation, a cycle of birth and death. Beautifully done by giving reference to the science. Excellent magic. Loved always, bl

We cannot forget about the hands that formed the stars and placed them all so carefully. If we see the complexity of the very large and the infinitely small there can be no doubt of an intelligence beyond our comprehension. Still it is good that we humans seek to think beyond ourselves. A thought provoking piece Shadow.
