Illumination

Brighter than the entire galaxy

Fascination

Of final agony

The only one

Among hundreds of millions

The greatness of a dying sun

Inconceivable scales

Thermonuclear fusion

The true engine of creation

The streams of colossal power

Burst the star from within

This supernova

Will soon be the new foundation

For death and life

Are inseparable like Siamese twins

Planets once warmed by the light of star

Now turn into charred spherical stones

Heat waves spread across the galaxy

Dust of the celestial giant

Spreads towards the unknown

Glowing clouds

Shimmer with the whole spectrum of colors

They fill space

For many light years

Posthumous shroud

Of the ancient giant

Will dazzle the eyes

Of astronomers

What fate awaits

This agonizing star

Whether it become a black hole

Which even absorbs the light?

It can become a white dwarf

Or a deadly magnetar

Whose gravity is capable

Of tearing planets apart

Planets once warmed by the light of star

Now turn into charred spherical stones

Heat waves spread across the galaxy

Dust of the celestial giant

Spreads towards the unknown
