Poem: Origins

Postby Lonewulf » Wed Jan 13, 2010 1:02 pm

All is quiet
There is no sound
There is no time
There is no sound
There is no light

Then the surge comes
A tidal wave of energy
A wave of time
The cosmic ocean empties itself
Into the void

Time passes...

Hydrogen and Helium
The basic building blocks
Matter converges
Matter convulses
Matter ignites

The stars are born
The stars will die

Fire and water and earth and air
Ice and rock and all that is primal
Yellow, Crimson, and Turquoise dancers
Circling and colliding in grace and beauty
With no one alive to see it

Gas begat flame
Flame begat earth
Earth begat life
The universe keeps on moving
The Milky Way keeps on spinning

The waters of the cosmic ocean
Boil and bubble and burst
The waters of Earth's ocean
Floods and forms and turns
Life begins within its depths

It changes, forms, devours and breeds
Legs and lungs emerge
And life crawls out of its pit
Looks to the sky
Sees the light of distant ancestors

It thinks:
I am home
