Deep in the void, where light is scarce, devoid of life and sound The remnants of a fallen star fall to an endless ground.
Until they slowly form anew by force of Newton's formula Fantastic clouds of gas and dust in green and red and pink and blue, known to us as nebula.
Before our eyes, they grow in size, take shape, and with elation we're witnessing a cosmic birth – The Pillars of Creation.
They tower over the abyss, a glowing trinity Amidst the universal mist of darkness and infinity.
Until they finally collapse and under heat and pressure form A self-sustaining plasma core and thus, anew, a star is born.
This poem is inspired by "The Pillars of Creation" (1995), a photograph taken by the Hubble Space Telescope depicting interstellar clouds and dust within the Serpens constellation of the Eagle Nebula.
