A Star Is Born
When huge amounts of mass
are so tightly compressed
becomes so dense
that it starts to burst.
Heat reaches values such
that the flames possess
the ability to generate
new elements from scratch.
Years of light traveled
to all corners of the universe
will delight our sight
in a simple shiny dot.
A child reaches up
pointing to the black veil
where a new spot
brightens the night.
"Look a star."
Then runs to measure
its height and angle
the color and texture.
She blinks back
nice to meet you too.
