Circle Games

[Ron Hornung]

The beginning: deep in time, deeper in mystery.

Origin-al universe flaring forth from a Center…

from empty to fullness.

The stuff of the universe expanding perfectly…

molecules connecting, as they dance

toward complexity, density and diversity.

All, that was, is, for billions of years…everything,

all parts relating, all forming a web.

And this web is a good one…strong…to catch life…

Life comes…irresisting, born of blood and some stardust,

From nothing comes everything, from everything,

anything…imagined or born.

You…odes to joy…me…matches one can strike anywhere…

Matter evolving…and what Matters evolving.

And the seasons go ‘round…and life, still evolving…

to conscious, then, conscience, from chancing to choosing.

a webbed pathway unfolding,

and Time…always…

Now.
