Sun and stars may seem like
Permanent fixtures of our lives
Moving across the sky
The sun and other billions of them
They are literally a ball of fire
Constantly fusing atoms together
Depleting their reserves slowly
And very brightly
They are going to die too
Each one of them
Die and evolve into something else
Depending on how big or small they are
White dwarf, black dwarf, neutron stars
Or maybe a black hole
Just like every other being
The stars burn out too
And fade into oblivion
Their life timescales are too large
For us to witness
Like ours is for creatures who
Live for only for a bit
Nothing is permanent
Nor stars, nor universe nor we
Yet we keep seeking forevers
Knowing very well that
The cosmic dance can end any moment
Knowing that everyone will move on
Memories linger but that too
For a while, only a little while
In the grand scale of the universe
Sky, horizons, time, colours
Eternities and forevers are illusions
Stars burn out too…so do we…
Mad Decadence 
A terrific message that’s omnipresent but is easily forgotten in our vanity and pride.
Thank you, Sonia ❤️
