Beginnings from an End

Exhausting fuel,
an old star
spirals
out of life
because the crush
of gravity
cannot contain
what must erupt
yet shall sustain
the most essential elements
composing most developments
of worlds and every thing between:

an ending very few have seen
yet anyone can celebrate
because of what it could create.
