The Big Bang

It blew your mind –
But you were blind
And couldn’t feel a thing.
‘Tis thus a creature of your kind
Was destined to begin.

Since movements first,
By magic nursed,
You played with light and gloom –
The only child that after birth
Stays in its mother’s womb.

A ceaseless night
Traversed your light
Before, through human eye,
You saw your beauty, depth, and might,
And wondered: “What am I?”

Eternal quest,
You’ll have no rest
Until, forlorn and cold,
You’ll vanish on your parent’s breast –
A puzzle never solved.

What’s after you?
A creature new
Will start an endless span
And make unseen, but splendid view,
Reliving the big bang.
