Who Knew?

Of a certainty there was no
witness to the silence of
dark nothing. And nor was
there one when nothing
changed into something.
That monumental moment
in time and endless space
when the Universe was born.
Familiarly known as the
Big Bang, yet who observed
the blast of the swirling 
chemical brew? Who heard 
the primordial yelp of existence? 
And as the cosmos expanded 
begetting stars and planets 
of countless scintillating array, 
who knew? Was there a universal 
mind, an intelligence to 
guide the formation of stellar 
bodies over their hundreds of
millions of years of evolution?
