I was a fleck of energy before the birth of time
Conscious of so little, in nothingness, density sublime
Becoming a subatomic particle in the vastness of space
Now matter, many of energies forces it did erase
Then an atom to this transformation I did progress
The forces of attraction then, I did possess
A molecule how long it took to get to this point
Yet in this transition so little awareness it did me anoint
Next a major transition to the spark of life
Now conscious of my position being aware of strife
Billions of years of evolution to reach the human gate
Sensation, perception, and thoughts to formulate
I incorporate seven octillion atoms of the past
One from Pythagoras, Shakespeare a slave and an outcast
With each death a memory lost and a new transformation
When I'm gone I'll always return to the beginning of creation.

a healthy way to stare down our finite fate
and appreciate
there is more we lack the wisdom to glean...
I like open ended, endings
to my stories
since, none of us know how this will all, end
as much as we try and guess what it all means..
(a wonderfully contemplative write
this be our 'atoms to atoms'
of antiquity's 'ashes to ashes')
Thanks so much L.B, for the review. You're so right, most all of us prefer open ended stories, it helps with the freedom idea a bit. Destiny has gotten a bad rap over the past few years. Thanks again for stopping by.
This one takes my breath away. Who knew that physics could be poetry. Perhaps if physics were taught this way everyone would love it. You are a true wonder in all that you write, and I love working my way through all of it.
Dear Bella you humble me with your more than gracious comments. My mind wonders onto these things at times and I have to put them to verse. I feel somewhat guilty in that I would like to read more of your poetry that I find so entertaining but I think I have read them all or at least the ones that are listed. If you have others please let me know where to find them they are so rich with life.
