Creation

Is it?

The black,

the charcoal darkness

sweeps in, frozen.

Cold as ice and stone,

cutting as diamond

or glass

or the sharpest words.

The void smothers,

suffocates

as air is sucked

in greedy gulps from the

dying vacuum.

A planet spins,

a star explodes.

Quarks fly

in defiance of light

and heat and time

to settle in dust.

Outstanding use of words John.
"The void smothers,
suffocates
as air is sucked
in greedy gulps from the
dying vacuum."
The above lines. So good and thank you for sharing the amazing poetry.

Thank you Coyote John. Am leaving the site after many years as it has no real moderation or control of trolls and is becoming moribund.

Don't pay attention to them John and you are welcome my friend.

The "darkness" ending human existance.
Because of humanity fearing or falling stray from the "light".

We all have a choice...

No the life cycle of the quark. We are dust and to dust we return. In reality our constituent parts get recycled! Many thanks for reading.

This makes me think of how so much begins or is housed in chaos but with time can be brought to order. But there’s the cycle. When order is established chaos will inevitably follow at some point. Makes me think, too, of the act of artistic creation and how that can be explosive and only partially controlled. There are always surprises. Cool poem, John.

[John Alexander McFadyen]

Yes it was beginnings and endings I was thinking of when this popped up. And cycles of existence. Many thanks Eilis

This reminds me of a version of "the curious life of benjamin button" but from God's point of view, if he decided to put everything in reverse.
this puts a great slant on that story.

Never thought of it that way so thank you Jacob.
