Birth

A massive field of energy

With quantum fluctuations:

That is how it all began,

From all indications.

 

And then the Big Bang came about,

Giving birth to us,

And energy became transformed

Into matter. Thus,

 

We are beings who go way back

Into a distant past.

Over 13 billion years--

Before the die was cast.

 

Within that scheme, planet Earth

Is relatively young,

And many of the scientists'

Songs remain unsung.

 

No one knows for certain why

It all was orchestrated.

We ALL seem quite unique, and yet

We're ALL somewhat related.

 

Billions of years, collapsing stars:

So difficult to grasp.

The vastness of the universe

Makes us stop and gasp.
