The beginning

It began with a big bang
the universe in a flash
when infinitely dense energy
at incomprehensible rate, it began to expand

It still continues to expand
howsoever thinly it fills the space
that it occupies at insatiable rate
without any blink, pause or wait

From where came the dense energy
and how it coalesced to form the stars
when inflation continues unabated
and distances are infinitely large

If the beginning was uneven
and some lumps of energy withstood all
though they too were flung across
and continue to move without stop

Within a galaxy of the stars
the gravity played a major part
spin and rotation changed the texture
of the tapestry of which it was  a part

We come back to the nature of it all
a particle, quanta or string it forms
the source of energy remains a mystery
and  the assumption of equivalence explains not all!
