She felt it. A Presence.

Something no longer of this time.

That has come, only to observe.

Far away in the distance,

Train carriage wheels,

Roll along steel tracks,

With their rhythmic, thumping cadence.

Overhead, geese in chevron flight,

Announce they are headed home,

As their honking melody fades into the twilight.

Soon, a canine howl penetrates a lunar-lit night.

It is a cry of universal loneliness. 

Beckoning all to listen,

To understand their pleading, of …

Recognize me.

I exist.

Tell me,

These laws of physics,

that govern our universe,

How and Why did they come about?

Space, Time, Matter, and Energy.

Why Entropy, and not Forever?

From Absolute Nothing,

Came Absolute Everything,

All very Suddenly,

Ever expanding.

The Creation.
