History of a Star

A spinning node of power so immense
galactic supernovae remain normal events
while volcanic oceans of molten rock explode
and falling embers in a downpour corrode
systematically zooming in or out of the picture
from inside the fiery nucleus of an atom
to the combustion of a star, the universe
unfolds in a mirrored whipping chain
reaction spiraling in orderly control
from far beyond our best capacity to
even guess. It is enough that we recognize
it and devote ourselves to the cultivation
of the protection of its mystery.
