Perhaps
If you look out into space,
pictures on the internet
taken from the Hubble telescope
you can see a nebula
a great big cloud of gas and dust
the birthplace of new baby suns
most of the gas is hydrogen
the gas that makes the ozone layer
hydrogen links together to build ozone,
so hydrogen is attracted to hydrogen,
yet I wonder is there a small attraction left over
after the atom's link, is there a small slight attraction
Is this slight attraction, the force that we call gravity
atoms are attracted to atoms,
oxygen links with hydrogen to form water
perhaps, matter attracted to matter
When suns that are born
they start out composed of mainly Hydrogen gas and dust
then having exploded into an atomic reaction
because of the growing force of gravity
they start changing overtime
condensing slowly changing from hydrogen
they turn into helium the next atom
in the periodic table
as time goes by they slowly work through
the periodic table until if they are big enough
they turn into a lead, then they explode
going supernova, creating dust that goes on
to make planets, meteorites and the earth
our moon came from a collision with the earth
our moon was once apart of the earth
and broke away after the collision to become a satellite
The core of the earth is hot, perhaps because gravity,
matter attracted to matter
the force of compounding atoms, creates an atomic reaction
the outside shell is created because
The coldness of space cools the atoms down
creating a shell a crust around the out side of the earth
the perfect nest for nurturing life
Hydrogen appears to be the foundation of existence
I'm not sure where hydrogen comes from
perhaps the big bang theory is true
but with that much gravity
the matter would be pure energy so no boulders
just an explosion of pure energy
that cools down and starts forming atoms
on becoming the smallest atom hydrogen
would go on to form nebula clouds, suns and planets
