A little star

 Once before, I was nothing
Harkening the call, I became
A small little ball of gas floating
In the midst of space
Slowly I began forming
A little star somewhere
Unawares of the space surrounding me
Hanging in the air
Balanced by forces I can't comprehend
A living being, I certainly am not
However, the feelings I do have
Have only barely formed
I'm frightened, and a tad scared
Of what lies beyond
Of what lies around
Of what lies ahead
I look around me
I see emptiness
A darkness looms far above
Far around and far beyond
A darkness which I illuminate
I conquer everyday
I pass each moment
The darkest hours are beyond me
They're in my past
In my present
The time as a construct
I can barely perceive
Slowly
I rotate around myself
Frantically wishing to gather
My strength
And over time, and through the days
A force that made me begins to phase
Into power and create
Objects of heavy masses
A little star, I am no longer
A young one, indeed I am
For each day I become stronger
Each day I become enhanced
With the powers of creation
Surrounding my presence
My ever-so-slow floating nature
The universe gifted me presents
In the form of my little children
Those masses that surround
The presence of me brings them to life
They breathe, I hear the sounds
These world terraform
And begin to transform
Beyond the horizon I can see
Them building into mounts
And hills and waters and oceans
And rock formations, too
My little dear children
Oh how I love you
I learn to know how my presence
Brings you your existence
You float around thanks to gravity
In utter, immovable persistence
And such is the way of life
Of each little star
They're born one day out of elements
That span near and far
Each begin a journey
And each brings new masses
One day, mine would end, surely
As it started, it passes
Gently and peacefully
And force will then replace
A force I'm not aware of
And I don't wish to learn
But this is long going
And time is a relative thing
For me, it'll be eons
Before I go extinct
