Myth of Everything
A poem about the creation of the universe.
Hush.
Quiet Still.
A groan
A murmur
Expansion!
Swirling in darkness
Butterfly wings grow
Cosmic majesty blossoms
Life unfolds, expands!
Belly swells, a groan
Dreaming of a world
Dreaming of a life
Life becoming real, rising!
Belly bursts forth, a bang
Heard across the quiet- shattered
Stars, dust, plants burst fourth
Dust swirls, a spiral made
Star collapses, a maw made
Stars merge, infinite pattern made
The butterfly stretches, closes and expands
Dreaming of life, its breaths deities
Gods of every sex life handed
A universe once silent now alive
Life in all its colours, sighs
And struggles and rises and dies
Mortals suffering, death and lies
The butterfly sighs
Amused by cries
And lives
Thrives!
