Before the Big Bang

My mind has always drifted, from teachings of the gifted
Looking back through time, it seems to me sublime
Could the answer be, simply what we see?
We know stars shrink and die, then blast apart – divide
I wonder if a mirror, would make the issue clearer
If we could see before, the Big Bangs secret door
Perhaps the other side expands away as wide

Congratulations on your poem being featured on homepage this week. Way to go. I enjoyed reading it. Before God said let there be light, God was so there is no need to wonder. Sara K.

Yes! I like this . "Simply as we see". They say we don't exist in time, but rather in dimensions, space time . Not by the clock. I don't yet understand, but im working on it! Thanks for the reminder.
