A Lasting Star

I gaze upon the vast night sky And I saw a star that caught my eye I watched the star as it twinkled bright And wondered about its ancient light Obeying only the universal laws Unconcerned by the effect and cause Destruction and creation are sublime And exist in the very same moment in time I wondered if it had ceased to be And only its past is to be shown to me From a million eons long ago I am blessed tonight by a brilliant glow But I know if it ever seems to be gone It is only evolving and ready to move on
