Sun our own daytime star, our light!


Image result for sun shining on the earth

Of all the myriad countless stars out there in space
Sun is our own star, our light!
All other stars come blooming in the night
The sparkling luminous ball shining by the ongoing fusion reaction
Without it we are nowhere, in pitch dark
We owe it to the grand sun making the Earth livable, we live

Without it no existence, everything out on this fantastic world
Without it no photosynthesis, no plant,.no food
Besides you, me, all earthlings, flora and fauna
All owe our existence to the dazzling sun
A star not livable, yet lovable!

Like all good things have to come to an end
Sun too has to end when fusion fuel runs out
Thank God not anytime sooner much after our lifetime
Life times of the gen next, gen next and next
Till another few billion years to go for the halt

Still shudder to think of such eventuality
Sun exhausting, ballooning into a red giant
Engulfing our blue marble, a gory sight
A death knell for the life flourishing hereabout
Long, long time to go, till then enjoy the ride best!
