Betelgeuse

Across the Universe in some far off Galaxy . . . A star, the brightest in the evening sky has fallen into darkness, not a glow nor shine As the question is asked . . . why? Orion has chosen you to brightly shine, Over the constellations a million times. Betelgeuse. . . . . can this be true? Have you started to run out of fuel? The astrologers say you will fall from the sky, A supernova explosion to the human eye. Oh No, please tell me It cannot be so? Life is too short with a lot more to do! The Moon has called together the Universal spirits. The Cosmic swirling of the Milky Way, bringing the love from Neptune and Venus To uplift the frail and darkened star. The simple fusion of energy and light Is why a Star gets to shine so bright But in the darkness of our Universe Orion's Belt still has Betelgeuse! Poem is by Lany FYI: Inlemay Facts on Betelgeuse "Betelgeuse, also known by its Bayer designation Alpha Orionis, is the ninth-brightest star in the night sky and second-brightest in the constellation of Orion." Wikipedia One I salvaged from Bubs

@Inlemay A shame they didn't have the decency to notify us that we should save and delete all our posts. (well yours anyway, most of mine were rubbish)

To me the night sky is the oracle of the closed day. Starry Starry night - Vincent van - is my favorite painting.
