Afterlife Light

That star in the night sky 
Is not there anymore
But we see it and will see it
For millions of years yet to come.

Did the star die? 
Did it live? 
In life, we call this phenomenon
A ghost, a hallucination.

(Is life a ghost too?) 
What if the star never lived? 
Or maybe its death dies
While the star continues to live, 
Cheating death
With its afterlife light.
