That star in the night sky <br />Is not there anymore <br />But we see it and will see it <br />For millions of years yet to come. <br />Did the star die? <br />Did it live? <br />In life, we call this phenomenon <br />A ghost, a hallucination. <br />(Is life a ghost too?) <br />What if the star never lived? <br />Or maybe its death dies <br />While the star continues to live, <br />Cheating death <br />With its afterlife light.<br /><br />Dejan Stojanovic<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/afterlife-light/
