The Death Of A Star

Tonight,
A star died
- a nova with colours
Even my eyes cannot
Begin to imagine
Was created
In the dark void
Of this atmosphere

It exploded
Into shards of deathly beauty
-its last breath
Was one of fireworks
Bringing eye-blinding, vibrant light
To this blackness

And
Like all stars that died before it
Its light shone down
To
The
Earth

For centuries after its death
