Darkness
Gathering, exploding
Fiery, burning, molecules expanding
Multi-colored kaleidoscope, jeweled gaseous clouds
Interstellar winds, dust, radiant energy, galaxies evolve
Stars develop, giving birth to cosmic offspring-who
Encircle, worshipping the bright life-giver
Until, the death, the void, implosion
Death and Rebirth
Creation
Joining molecules,
Water, pools of amino acids,
Electrically charged clouds of elements
Give rise to nuclear, cellular, organic, living
Evolving, flourishing and fruitful, continuing lineage
Adapting, progressing, Intensifying complexity
Pleonastic, cyclic, dying and arising
Apogee and Birth
Earth
