Stars Shatter, Bodies Crystallize

Bubbling up inside a Star

A volcano comes to life

From the gases, dust, and liquids

Oozing and sometimes solidifying

Layer upon layer 

Developing, swelling, intensifying

Expanding inside a mysterious membrane

A skin, a crust

Growth that makes the available space

Tighter and tighter

Until there is no more room

No more space to contain

Exploding as a supernova


Stars shatter, bodies crystallize

All the energies configure

To become


This Star detonates

Shooting out sparkles and matter

Gushing particles and waves

Radiating blasting energies

That tangle as if magnetized

Together inside Mother Star

Clumping and crashing into each other

Then blowing apart to become


Separating into sprinkles and rocks

Liquid lava and molten missives
Newly born embodiments

Celestial bodies

Flying out and away from

Their Mother Star

While time bends


Just like children are born

From embryos growing

Merged and attached at first

To the uterine wall

Then to the parents and breast

Developing into their own persons

Scooting away from their parents

Ultimately erupting in oh so many ways

As is natural for them to do

We parents 

Having been adolescents before

Breathe deeply allowing them to fly away

Their own souls directing and guiding

Their journeys of becoming


The Mother Star has become

A glowing light energy force

Glistening sprouts spreading out

All around her

Beaming past her

Cobbling together

Little by little

Lives of their own


These new planets and asteroids

Revolving around

Other bodies of stars and suns

Gathering, connecting and circling

Rotating, following new paths

Perhaps in a variety of universes

Spatially correct and true

They orbit around 

Whatever attracts and holds them


None of these stars die

They only transform into newly

Formed clusters and constellations

Transmuting into fresh bodies of

Light and dark and all colors

Always rotating and swirling

Co-creating and reincarnating 

Over and over again

Eternally and infinitely

Forever one with all that is
