Stellar Formation

Disturbance

Drawing inward

Collapse

Disorientation

Spinning 

Heat 

Finally…Eruption

Each almost catastrophic to mortals, but within the universe: Stellar Formation

Only after millions of gruelling years does the light then begin to shine. More bright and brilliant than ever existed before. Offset from earthly life. However an uncanny macro of all the processes she ironically parallels. 

But oh what majesty results! Illuminating the darkness, chasing away the shadows. A gift to any who dare to peek up. To take in the once delicate stardust, acknowledging the trial and time to become.

How jealous she is of the satellites who get to zoom through the sea of wonder. On clear nights she can find both. The radiant constellations mingling with mechanical moving modules. What she wouldn't give to live up there too. Weightless and wandering, overwhelmed and in orbit. There's enough extravagance to eradicate error and worry and waiting and heartache.

Vibrant nebula violets splattered into infinity.

Falling back down to the ‘now’ where the soft sweet grass cradles her frame. The sun fully set, she finds Venus and Orion, old friends. With each passing moment, mesmerized by what she’ll spot next. 

Eyes heavy, heart light, drifting off into the night.
