Reinterpreting Nature

In one minuscule corner of the Universe
sits Man the Wise, thinking, thinking...
Above and within the Universe hovers
Nature, the creator of all that exists
implacably manoeuvring her elements
raw and powerful. The ancients on
Earth knew as though a whispered
secret was divulged to them when their
minds were crafted that there is more to
heaven than Paradise; of a certainty
another place was reserved particularly
for those of their kind for whom evil
was irresistible. Thousands upon tens
of thousands upon millions of such
years have passed and the advent of
modern technology has fleshed out the
intuition of the early sages; their current
counterparts, astrophysicists identified
the Gates of Hell, a ring of gaseous
fire leading to a monumental energy
source irresistible to all matter within
its orbit, Nature's immense collector
of matter extraneous to her purpose 
in a timeless interval to seep into the 
greater vacuum that is space and time
there to assume new forms new purpose 
in the never-ending cycle of rebirth.
