Becoming

by Steve Cartwright

Exploded into existence
turned light from darkness
heat from icy cold
frenetic
energy surging
callow youth in nameless dark
soundless cold
bouncing
oscillating anew
nothing like it hence
colors forming from nameless cold
heat
fire
energy
swirling
bubbling --

now exploding 
rumbling young universe
matter flung into timeless space
unheard echoes from all-consuming dark
a journey began
particles merging
dancing with hordes of others
flinging through space
moving faster and faster
where once was only universal solidity.

And travels
further and further
and grows and expands and is born consciousness
a knowing
a feeling the universe is but like a dark room
and the flung particles pierce youthful pools
and music break upon the brow of the youthful cosmos
and with music
comes dancing and swirling and joy and rapture
and where once
was only dark void
now is color born
and light sneaks beneath the cosmic door
not only light
but life-giving light
and greens and reds and blues and whites
and eyes open
not just from slumber
but into Being
and swirling is dancing
and upon the head a crown
and the light grows brighter
the colors more awesome
and time taps its toe
and hands clap its rhythm
and they sing "Evermore.
Evermore."
