Cosmic Cataclysm NGC 6357

5, 500 light years
From Earth

Milky Way
Galactic hearth

Where stars surcease
And resurrect
On the nebula bay

Cosmic ocean craters
In vast array

Created by
Immense radiation eruption

Causing
Supernova explosion

Stripped of electrons

From hydrogen atoms
In Cosmic Cataclysm

Ionized hydrogen clouds
In the constellation Scorpius

A grandeur display
