Avalanche

In the vast vacuum
Of space and time
A small spark ignited
Then there was rhyme

A collection of atoms
Particles and debris 
Condensed into stars
Birthing light to see

A swirling of matter
Driven by a behemoth breeze
Black holes at the centre
Of spooling galaxies

Clusters of rocks
Becoming globes
Cooking pots of elements 
Complex life takes hold

A collection of catastrophes
As evolution advances
Apes migrate from Africa 
Taking their chances 

One more snowflake
Lands on a laden branch
A branch that snaps 
Becomes an avalanche

A similar process 
To a poet's pen
Nothingness to complexity 
Only to begin again
