When a Star Dies

What happens when a star dies?
Depends on the star
Depends on how much the star shines
Some stars just reach their inner planets
Just known to those around
While others stars are so large
It is impossible for them not to make sounds
Big beautiful and very loud
When these stars die they didn’t dwindle
Didn’t slowly unwind like yarn off a spindle
When super stars die
They explode, and give off everything from the inside
All that matter
All the elements
All the particles
All the atoms
Fly away in all directions
Bringing new celestial conception
Pretty soon there are many more stars than just one
That’s how we got the sun
Just the matter from another one
Our sun was big enough to make our home
This is the story we’ve always known
It has been revealed many times
The story told
Not just in one book
Not just in a single class
Not one tradition
We must have different expectations
Ask deeper questions
When a star dies
It will create a sun
So we all can shine
