Procyon B Canis Minor

 
For billions and billions of years they burn
Their light traveling across the vastness of space
But when a star eventually runs out of energy
An fated adaptation then takes place

If a star is big enough it will shed its outer layer
Becoming a white dwarf with a dense fading core
If its really big it will explode into a supernova
Leaving behind a neutron star, or

If it’s massive enough
It will collapse into a black hole
Where light cannot escape
Dark as if there is no soul

Stars won’t go to sleep
They make a transformation that’s vital
Sometimes quietly
Sometimes violently
Marking a spectacular end to their life cycle
