stars

we are all made of the same thing
we are made of stars
eons ago we were all were roaring with power
some of us we all encompassing, glowing blue with such a heat
we amazed and glorified all, and we burned brighter than all
but we burned out quick, exploding into the cosmos or consuming all in our path
some of us were smaller, and one could argue some of the wiser
we burned red, yellow, and orange and we may have been smaller
but we lasted longer
and when we fell, we only faded away

this flesh form will fail us someday
for some it already has
but remember
we are all the descendents of celestial bodies
and one day we will return to our truest forms
