Federica is a star
shining pure by her own light
she's not bright because planets reflect her
she is so in her own right
they are happy she exists are not envious
rather enjoy the burning blaze of her flare
is she aware that her beauty is inside
that every bit of the universe far and wide
was, has been, will ever be
a drop of fire divine
till we die out
being absorbed by
going to burn in the next flame
being sun star or spark is the same?
