A Glowing Light
A star is born far from the rest.
Its light shines profusely.
Untouched by surrounding galaxies
yet all sharing the same dream.
The star begins to grow older
ignorant of its own changes.
Others gravitate forward curious
of this bright, glowing youth.
Scattered dust turns into planets,
and the star gains a massive following.
It remains unbothered by the meteorites
attempting to ruin the solar system.
Time passes by before it feels fatigued.
The light that once shone so bright
gradually retracts back to its owner.
The star finally sees its reality.
Looking through the galaxy,
the remaining stars continue
to glow leaving the old behind.
A dwarf star is all that remains.
