All that there is,
And all that we are
Was contained
And held,
Suspended,
Potential,
Waiting for the actual,
In that spot
Without space
And without time.
And then the universe
Was born
In that infinitesimal moment
From the dark
Into the light:
The primordial womb
Of the stars,
And the galaxies
Expanded into being,
To become the visible
And the invisible,
And spread across the frontiers
Forming from space,
And condensing into
Systems and planets.
All that we are
And ever will be
Came from that moment,
Emerged out of the
Formless void
To grow into
The consciousness
Of humankind,
Who look back
with curiosity to
the Origin of it all.
