It's a Wrap
beyond what we know is the realm of wrapping
can be no time, can be no space
just stuff, bits and pieces, much coming and going
the much going and coming base
as something wraps up emptiness, hear the clapping
ever banished, forbidden face
by such means, the flux of being surrounds not knowing
the good for nothing has no grace
membranes enclose, encode unruly rules of play
duration, scale and dimension
nouns and verbs, the processing of information
state of order and declension
so, rebuff the same, only the lonely can stay
launch the prime number ascension
initial conditions, brewing fermentation
unique, inflating suspension
our 'Cosmos' in swaddling clothes, the very first smile
our precious one laughs, it's a wrap
watch swinging space-time dance across big-banging skies
push and pull, burgeoning bootstrap
quantum foot wriggles in wrapping shoe, classic style
brash energetic youth on-tap
still growing, some ninety-two billion cherry-pies
out of sight from most of the map
stretched on the surface of an infant bubble
gravity rapping, grinding bells
planets embrace, 'Earth' and 'Thea' create a moon
encircling orbs and tidal swells
the continental drifter cloaked, instant trouble
d-n-a, replicating cells
surviving the random, the evolving cocoon
potential spun with organelles
puff of life, oceans envelop, confabulate
smoking fumarole, mud and slime
meteors sprinkled over the slow cooking-pot
stirred in with primeval enzyme
plentiful promise is poised to encapsulate
reason seasoned with thoughts sublime
intelligence, being aware, a booster shot
memory laced with childhood rhyme
transition days, a special mummy wrapped in shrouds
poems with words contained in verse
tales to relate, metered pace, half-hinted meaning
how to avoid entropic curse
to learn of becoming ways, be enwrapped by clouds
be part of stellar intersperse
like a black hole holograph with cosmic screening
gathered-in by galactic nurse
your story not forgotten, worth the re-telling
worth re-sampling from the beyond
your essence, the point of you has been recorded
your ripples spread across the pond
beyond once you were, beyond your cosy dwelling
the 'Cosmos' needs you, make your bond
babes and youngsters all renewed, to be rewarded
so, wrap up warm and wave your wand
