A star that shattered like a glass
Cassiopeia-A, its name
A supernova remnant, when captured
In a telescopic lens, it showed
The colours of peace that overtook the space
When the star exploded
Breaking the shell into pieces
To embrace the space
To become one
Dying not, but evolving
Into what is the infinite
Not far or near, but everywhere
Direction-and-distance-free
Beaming brightly, lives
The star that shattered like a glass.

The structure contains cosmic dust, which has the potential to coalesce under gravity over time, to grow and grow and eventually form brand new stars.
