Link to original below (Ссылка на оригинал ниже)The night sky shines with twinkling stars,
But who could ever think
That each one of the myriad gleams
Is a spark of consciousness,
And every star contains within
A world of unique beauty.
The worlds, however, vary.
Some shine so bright, they’re seen from far away.
Their blazing heat illuminates,
Breathing life into cold cosmos.
Yet fire can destroys, burning the careless ones to ash.
In others, the wild flame calms.
These stars emit a tranquil, bluish light.
No need to rush for them.
Through time, infinity was captures by their rays.
Over eons, having lived their lives,
The destiny of all
Is to explode in a destructive burst,
Devouring the remote surrounding.
Only the quintessence remains.
Invisible to eye, containing
What was, is, and will be.
Cosmic tranquility, until the end of times.
However, there are stars midway.
They do not seek the depths of cosmic secrets.
Their rays of consciousness,
With quiet delight and universal pleasure,
Glean from space the beauty and simplicity of things.
In them lies cosmic poise and balance.
But at the same time, they are full of life.
They use their warmth to comfort friends and loved ones,
And light path for themselves and those close by, transforming darkness into light.
