The immensity of it all.
That which is, once was not.
An existence in time and
infinite space whose
magnitude defies imagination
or the brilliant minds of
theoretical physicists, let
alone the most sensitively
precise tools of minutely
powerful detection that can
be expertly, cleverly engineered
by adept and skillful minds
feverishly engrossed in the
greatest mystery of them all:
How did we, When did we,
Where did we, Why did we
come into being, by what
strange alchemy of a force
we call Nature did the
unimaginable vastness of
nothing's endless vacuum
become something's existence?
