Singularity and Similarity

At the beginning of time 
you looked like a green singularity, 
a botanical thing itself,
but a couple of weeks ago the space of the lawn in front of my house
lighted a sun, 
yellow and not very hot,
around which the furry satellites of bumblebees revolved...
I always guessed that death is just the beginning of something new:
this morning, looking out the window, 
I saw that the star had died and turned into a little expanding universe.
Soon, I,
lean and bald,
will smile to myself, 
observing a certain similarity between me and you.
