A few years ago, I wrote poem about the life cycle of a star. I called it, “Diamond In the Sky.” I tried to find that poem to republish it here, but it was on my previous computer which I reformatted and gave away a while back. I did not create a copy, unfortunately. However, I remember the general idea and some of the original lines. This is my recreation of that lost piece of art. Please enjoy the rebirth of that poem. This is “Diamond In the Sky: A Haiku Series.”
Born of fiery dust A cloud of heated fury From here, stars are born
Giving life and warmth Worlds thrive and bask in its light Breathing in and out
A light in the dark Standing bright against the void A beacon of hope
A long life it lives Remaining as we pass on Watching each new heir
Eons pass it by An eternal spring of life Always giving more
Even in the end When fusion fades and death nears New life emerges
Plasma stripped away And light blown into darkness A diamond awakes
