My Big Bang Theory

In the matter of space and time I lay it all on the
 line as my mind starts to fray

I hold on to a shred of reality, tightly as I can, 
in hopes it doesn’t all go away

I push and I pull, wrestling the darkness, 
fight with all my might

Something low, something snaps, I twist around, thrown down,
 holding on to what is left of my mind

Silence, utter silence, then, I can hear a low soft whistling

With a shimmer of colour and light, my mind explodes, 
a thousand colours across my field of vision

With thin vapours firing out in all directions, my eyes 
can’t believe the impending collision

I stagger to my feet, holding my breath and 
I count slowly; one, two, three, four

With a sudden burst, my vision clear, everything 
explodes, expanding evermore
