Energy
so small, so dense release was imminent.
An explosion filled the universe with star stuff.
Energy
Star stuff expanding into the vast void
A refuge so perfect was found to create
life.

Energy
in primordial ooze to survive or perish.
Dependent on each life form’s adaptability and fitness.
Energy
fuels life until death extinguishes each flame.
New life evolves with survival instincts energy renewed.

Energy explosion fuels life with survival renewed.

Energy
is a constant or everything will die.
Life simply cannot exist without presence of fuel.
Energy
dense with power is still felt today.
Billions of years have not stripped away energy’s
life.

Life
still evolving with new discoveries each day.
Many more mysteries are waiting to be solved.
Life
is resplendent yet dies to move on.
Doubtful to ever know dimness of all energy.

Life cannot exist without energy each day.

Life
so small can birth a human universe.
Energy supplied by the Mother surges growth forward.
Life
with a heartbeat now provides more energy.
Survival requires what can go wrong, going right.
Growth

Birth
day is very close on the horizon.
Life in utero freed becomes a separate entity.
Birth
from laborious energy creates a new life.
Remarkably similar to the birth of a universe.

Energy creates a new separate human universe.

Life
Perish thoughts of nothingness forever and ever.
Death of energy will be death of life.
Life
All will continue to expand until when?
Who knows the answers about that possible event?
Live

Death
is a given to all living things.
Billions years old, the universe should be dead.
Death
Live life without dwelling on the end.
Just live with intense energy. Let it be.

Will the universe ever end… who knows?

This is my Response to the Poetry Writing Challenge from Cendrine Marrouat for the Sepigram Poetry Form which she invented and I thank her so much for her genius. I also want to thank Ravyne Hawke for publishing this Challenge on Promptly Written.
