Void of nothingness, when there was no in or out
Before before, no time no darkness or light
Out of emptiness, virgin air came about
Oxygen embracing hydrogen, bonded tight
Water birthed, distilled drops of falling rain
Sun's fire peers through cloud facades
Earth made of things dead, plants growing out of past pain
Animal's grazing, man's meat given by the gods
Womb of the abyss impregnated with the seed of life
Air, water, earth, fire to form a philosopher stone
Creations' umbilical cord cut with evolution's knife
From Adam or atom came the bone

Thank you my friend you are too kind and your words of encouragement stir the coals for more flames of creation
Well written,sorenbarrett, your poem "Elixir of Life" beautifully explores the majestic origins of life and the profound interconnectedness of natural elements—air, water, earth, and fire—leading to the miraculous emergence of living beings, delving into creation myths, the cycle of life and death, and the philosophical implications of existence.
Thank you Friendship for your review and interpretation that follows the lines of myth, religious or quasi scientific that man ascribes to creation and nature's mysteries. It is most appreciated
You're most welcome, my friend.
Soren, this one breathes with primal force…void, fire, bone...all moving in one sweep. It’s raw creation sung through poetry. Beautifully done, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Was you there with Goldfinch and I at the beginning of time? We're both millions of years old, so we say. lol.
You and he got in just a bit before I did I think you got my seat. Thanks for the read Orchi appreciate it
But were you with us in 1969, stepping out from the other side of the Moon, to greet the earthlings on their moon landing? We had been on the moon for years before they arrived! lol.
I was already old then they were thinking of sending me to war so the moon would have been a good place to be.
To me this was the Big Bang, everything from nothing. Nicely done.
You are most welcome and that is pretty much what I had in mind when I wrote it
Brilliant.
