Planck To Present

If we close our eyes, can we look back to the start When the Universe began, when science played it's part Particle clouds so massive, so immense It's us, look around, learn it makes sense Drifting microbes, bacteria of sorts For millions of years mingled into life shaped contorts It has taken eons of time as life became known Where human words like Mother Nature, having claimed life's throne For in her sphere, blossomed riches of note From Dinosaurs to Zebra's, it's her right to gloat But what she has given is a chance to let live On this planet of beauty that we continue to sieve If we close our eyes, and we look back to the start We should be so very fortunate, we were invited to take part http://www.thehighlanderspoems.com/space-3.php

Indeed, we're fortunate to be able to enjoy everything nature and the universe has to offer. You take us on an introspective journey through a time tunnel to make your point, James. I wish everyone could appreciate the wonders of the universe the way you do. Excellent poem. Love, Carolyn
