A Star Deep In the Mind

I see a new star on the horizon; 
It's not the Morning Star; 
It's a star without light.
This star without the light is the brightest
Because its light stays within. 
The biggest star doesn't take any space; 
It lives within, 
Feeds all other stars, all other matter. 
Without space, there is no time, 
Without time, there is no aging, 
Without aging, there is no death.
A star without light never dies; 
It cannot be seen in the outer space; 
It can only be sensed in the mind.
