Solution

The burning sun
           had it's beginnings
      near the core
of the universe
      After many eons
     passed
 We came along and 
waited for light from
      the sky
to rouse us
         Everyday ends
with a descent into shadow
     We are mortal!
  Sometimes we think this
seperates us from the rest
                  of the universe
  Yet in reality 
                     our mortality 
    is our connection 
to the cosmic wheel
For stars burn out and everything 
   reverts to dust in the end
