stellar death is tragic
yet beautiful, bewitching
as it leads to
exquisite, opulent life

a miniature creature
who begins existence
with little capacity
but in time
blossoms triumphantly
never lacking obstacles
along its path

without death
there is no life
without destruction
there is no splendor
without mother
there is no child

complementary conflicts
opposing energies
illuminate the glory that
is life as we know
and life as we don't
