A star looks into the darkness

Just like me.
The thought arrives 
    unbidden. 
 The universe and I
    both created by violence.
  Both developing structure from chaos. 
   Both...
      are
      hollow?
 or
No. 
   That’s absurd. 
    The universe isn’t hollow. 
    It’s full 
     of stars
     planets
      gas 
     dust 
        It’s full of things.
But… 
              is it full of meaning?

I don’t know
   I can read the patterns,
    track the structures, 
    learn the contents.
      But
     I can’t find purpose in any of it. 

The stars burn because physics demands it. 

The planets orbit 
  because 
    gravity demands it.
   Galaxies cluster 
     because density fluctuations demand it.
Cause and effect. 
  No purpose. 
   No intention. 
   Just… happening.
Like me?
