Teen Ink

   Nothing,

A point of light.

Matter and not: An uneven balance,

Blinding brilliance; all begins.

(Histories of light spreading forever.)

Laws put in motion: Stretching ever outward,

Reaching beyond, the umbra is broken.

Gasses coalesce, igniting a chorus,

Of limitless hues, and warmth, and life.

And thought.

The boundaries reached, all dissipates,

To its components, dispersing the songs.

(Waves shrill to dull slowly fading to lines.)

Retracting its verge, dark slashes light,

Reality quells: The far transcends the near.

Blinding darkness; all ends,

Matter no longer: Returning the balance.

A point of shadow,

Nothing.

A point of light ...
