Bernard Barclay Poet Narrative

A Concept of Creation

Everything is made from atoms
atoms are made from neutrons, protons, and electrons
neutrons and protons, are made from quarks
energy makes up 98% of every quark
Imagine yourself as the energy of the Universe 
existing with no beginning
perhaps you contract down into a ball
becoming the singularity
the universe exploding out 
creating space and time  
a massive explosion of energy 
and sub atomic particles
an explosion so intense 
there are no boulders
just pure energy
the coldness of space begins to cool your energy
you condense down 
forming the smallest atom
hydrogen
clouds of hydrogen gas come together creating a nebula
gravity the attraction of matter to matter
forces the atoms together 
pressure forcing the atoms into an explosion of fusion
part of you becomes
the first massive star
for the first time
light springs out into the universe
other stars start to form
over time, with the reaction of fusion
large stars condense, climbing up through the periodic table
until reaching lead they explode
going supernova creates the rest of life's elements
creating particles, meteorites, silver, nickel, and lead
all of the elements on the periodic table
slowly filling the universe with loose particles and dust
gravity pulls particles together forming planets
the opposing forces of gravity and the vacuum of space 
explain the tug-of-war, that keeps every planet in motion 
the earth comes into existence 
a barren clump of unformed clay
Hydrogen mixes with oxygen to form water 
your thoughts create designs 
you start by making the simplest form of life 
the one cell of microscopic life 
slowly building on one idea after another
you make plants, absorbing carbon and creating air
you make animals, that breathe oxygen and create carbon
everything is designed to stay in balance
to create an atmosphere, protection against the meteorites 
Life secret is balance 
you make predators for every creation 
to ensure, the world stays in balance 
if one animal leaps above the balance 
overpopulation would destroy their existence
each is dependent on the other  
ensuring a permanent food supply,
you go on designing, more and more complex life  
creating brains, nervous systems, hearts, and muscles
creating death, to stop overpopulation
the earth would not support continual population growth
you create perpetual change 
opposing sexes, to ensure new life, 
you create animals with the ability to change 
to suit their environment 
you create people with your ability to also create

Joe Maverick November 21, 2022 at 12:42 AM I agree with much of the above, death Came through fault I do see now.' Yet death what is it really ? A door into Super-reality for those who choose life Its quite simple and intricate also Causing mind boggling at times fir Many humans, enjoyed this maybe we'll Meet apart from this contact ' all tge best ' Bernard Barclay April 10, 2026 at 10:31 AM You said God is everything and nothing every thing is made of atoms every atom was made by the universe even is space where there appears to be nothing magnetism exists the earth surrounded by invisible protection even nothing is something Bernard Barclay April 5, 2026 at 2:10 AM Time has past and I realise nothing else could exist in the hot dense state of the early universe, according to science it was over eighteen thousand degrees there were no atoms no aliens no biological life the only thing that did exist was the universe so the only thing that could create life was the universe, it took science five years just to map DNA coding which shows complex design adding both facts together the Universe itself becomes the only possible God and the complexity of DNA coding show intelligent design so God the Universe has to have a quantum brain because that was the only think that could exist in the hot dense state of the early universe God does exist but he is every atom, we are a part of God and God is a part of us. Joe Maverick January 8, 2023 at 7:12 AM Well God is in everything and Nothing.' My knowledge has Had to change Bernard Specially over the last 8 years' Just a return here mate.' Bernard Barclay December 5, 2022 at 4:21 PM With chemistry, they say that energy is never lost, it just changes from one form into another, in some ways, the universe is like a hologram, made of solidified energy, our thoughts could be, just the flow of energy, through our mind, energy, that perhaps is never lost, but just shared, as part of the universal whole, God could be, the energy of the entire universe and we could also be apart of God.
