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
