In Thirty Seconds...

A nanosecond has barely passed

And millions of lights have been set in motion,

Embracing their births within the hot and dark sky

That is the face of this Universe, today.

Speckles of luminescence

Begin to form from the dusty arrays,

Spiraling together into a ball,

To create Our presence.

Fifteen seconds have only passed

And billions of years of memories lie deep-

-In the dark,

Desolate and often mesmerizing as light

Shining their wisdom upon their own Legacy-

-Looking at Us-

Breaking their silence,

Never to know when it will end-

-Or Begin.

As Me

And You.

Defining existence as a simple truth...

Thirty seconds have passed.
