Expanding celestial body

Majestic glowing sphere

Its scale is mesmerizing

It gonna grow year after year

Procession of centuries

But a jiff in colossal lifespan

Eras succeeded each other

However its life has just begun

Dazzling radiance

Terrawatts of pure power

Seething ocean of lucent plasma

Alluring and terrifying

The prohibitive power

Of luminescence

Concentrated in a hypergiant

Many parsecs away

When expansion ceases

Gravitational collapse sets in

Eventually this moment comes

The power bursts out from within

Thermonuclear fusion products

Spread across the space

They give life to new stars

In molecular cloud’s embrace

Conversion of hypergiant

Into clouds of gas and dust

Will be rapid and charming

Now the star is the thing of the past

An explosion marking the death

Of a once majestic star

Will light up the entire galaxy

With a super-bright flash

But even this colossal

Illumination

Will look like a faint glare

In the endless space

When expansion ceases

Gravitational collapse sets in

Eventually this moment comes

The power bursts out from within

Agony does not mean oblivion

Star will be reborn

Millions of years will pass

It will just be transformed
