solar

solely solar: 
truly toddler sun crawling 
 on canvas of cosmos
 five billion years ago 
as protostar 
formed from stellar plasma 
of cosmic charisma.
spinning  sun with solar system
revolving around center 
of milky  way galaxy,
fantastic but not fantasy.
       
 sun flare in glare, 
 sunspots to spot in variance.
 sun corona, outermost arena 
 to mesmerize.
 sunrise to sunset 
showering spectacular surprise.
    
 sun scattering rays 
 cascading in opulence,
 supplying energy, initiating life on earth,
 to grow flora and fauna in diversity,
 carrying evolution on earth
  in beast and beauty,
  displaying hues and tunes 
   in Nature on smart reality.
    
   on human conception,
   sun, a massive fiery whirling ball 
   of burning hydrogen :
   another five billion years left 
    to exhaust its fuel
    following the life cycle 
    of an ordinary star
    tending to be a red  giant
   ending in white dwarf
   obeying chandrasekhar limit: 
    it’s limited credibility.
     
     yet !
     startling fact to assimilate:
     sun with its solar system,
      a nano item
     holding a trivial position in universe,
    comparable to a tiny sand particle in sahara  desert.. 
   
      then !
      where to find humans
     blessed by energy of sun?
       seems a fun.
