Twinkle If You Must

TWINKLE IF YOU MUST Twinkle, twinkle, little star I know exactly what you are Not really above the earth so high, Diamond - no. Explosion in the sky. Just let your matter gravitate And your heat begins to fulminate Heat and pressure soon go nuclear Radiation reaches far and near Your fuel burns and then creates Other matter in other states Sometimes now, your sheer size Makes supernovas for our eyes You end in darkness like a mole Maybe becoming a black hole; But twinkle there on high for me Let me still your beauty see.
