Prelude to Universe

Light falls in gentle ripples on a pristine ocean creating life
Chance encounters of chemical messengers multiplied in water rife
It was a gentle unfolding of that to come, and no urgency implied
There was no distinction in nomenclature and universality applied

The notion of time itself was unborn as there was no observer
And thus life was free of the constant strain of temporal rigor
Life forms emerged and then merged into joint oblivion of death
It was like a child's hide and seek, bereft of grief and dread

Spirit was experimenting with elemental forces forming Nature
Shaping fire, forming water, flowing air, carving global fissure
Ether's vibration remained as a backdrop forming the witness
Placing its attention on a point which was quite in fitness

I saw the primordial event unfolding when I was in its womb
Flashing brilliant in awesome splendor as it started to bloom
There was none other than me, prior to its beautiful formation
And I shall remain when it curves in on itself in annihilation
