Stars too have a life span, but a star, the creator of the light remains immortal beyond the scope of this word itself.
Giant bodies of gas
shining brightly at a distance
unfathomable
Sun, our nearest star
preserver and sustainer
of all living beings
Begetters of light
Immortal than immortal
Very brief lifespan.

The sun will die in 5 billion years time.So we and the stars are mortal.We are but star dust.
ReplyDeleteMy last two lines tries to answer the dichotomy between the mortality and immortality. This universe too, is also not immortal but the human definition of immortality is so narrow with respect to the cosmos that it considers stars like sun as gods, immortal.(question is what exactly is immortal and its definition is really distorted by fictional antagonists of superhero flicks ) These terminologies are abstract and when combined with science results in confusion. So in my last two lines i stated humanic description of a star and a cosmic reality quite contradictory. :-)
DeleteI like what Rallentanda says about us: "We are but star dust."
DeleteEverywhere the Stars
At atomic level, every creation in this universe is the same.
