Celestial Conversations- The Stars Contemplate: Poem 1

The Stars Contemplate

Who amongst us, before Ouranus, father heaven, dies,
in the birthplace of stars, the nebula, is short of a supernova?
Who has created within their stellar system a paradise?
From mere terrestrial, to be proven divinity in the skies,
not in death reborn, but born a superior nova?
Look upon us celestial bodies and recognize!
You cold, and barren rocks of ice,
meteoroids, asteroids, and every comet.
Nothing more than space oddities,
but planets by our flame made into paradise
if we choose to unfreeze and life beget.
Of adoration, are we not found worthy in qualities?
So say us, the cosmos, YES!
Yet who, short of interplanetary dust,
is to be proclaimed a star, celebrated, divine in glory?
For fear, blinded by our light, we guess,
we contemplate in debate, a must!
who is the greater named in the story?
