The Story of Potential
beyond our time and place a clumsy confusion of Primordials dwell
they play with notions, forming bubbles in child-like wonder
they meld and morph, shaping membranes which burst asunder
falling under the wayward influence of some uncanny Ephemeral spell
a wild Primordial, pronounced and sounding like Potential
senses a beyond the beyond, deep inside a translucent sphere
fleeting beings can be glimpsed just precisely as they disappear
Potential ponders if they are real or merely flimsy existential
an idea is formed, what if Potential were to be inside an orb distinct
to partake in crazy expansion, somehow avoiding disintegration
to greet an Ephemeral, sharing curiosity and untamed elation
journey strange domains, absorbing wisdom succinct?
with Quantum assisting, together they concoct and deviate
how to get inside a bubble before volume grows and expands
Quantum subterranean tunnels in with adroit, improbable hands
Potential slips through to an inside-out world which begins to inflate
another opening suddenly appears as mysterious shapes glide in
Ephemerals presenting a weird throng and cast of actors
they have many names and complicated, interacting factors
Potential is mesmerised, expression beaming out with merry wide grin
then all at once there is intermingling fiery frenzy, epic-full commotion
conflagrations exploding into another burgeoning realm
our Cosmos is born, even stranger characters now at the helm
for this one includes Space and Time in a lumpy, wavy, particle ocean
Cosmos conducts clashing scales with vibrating baton
remorseless Entropy and creative Information eternal fighting
for melodic ascendency, most enduring or most enlightening
Fermions step-dance beating out a fine fractional Hadron
symphony of bosonic forces, Electro-magnetic, Weak and Strong
but the mightiest instrument can sometimes be hard to hear
Gravity's sound, almost silent when very small and very near
reverberating way far out with audible murmur and distant song
evolving melodic notes, Galaxies congregate, hum and spin
matter funnelling down deep Black Holes, holographic signatures
the story of Dust and Stars, Dark Matter, gravitational ligatures
Dark Energy pressure, the beat and bounce of the cosmic din
whimper out, slow waltz of death or build to cacophonic return?
Intelligence with Knowledge intervening in baffling guise
Potential is in there somewhere greeting the Hominin rise
still peering inside bubbles, composing new songs to learn
