Cosmic Wonder Poem by Valsa George
Cosmic Wonder
This cosmos, indisputably is a sheer wonder
We cannot but bow before its grandeur
To what strange terrains open its doors
And what secrets are hidden beneath the stars
From the merciless emptiness sans light,
From the deep silence of the horrendous night,
Was heard the bang of hammers
On the anvils of eons like thundering fire crackers
Abruptly through a gas cloud burst of inexorable force
Life emerged from stardust, our energy source
This is what the exponents of Big Bang assert
Life, from cosmic egg was hatched, some others purport
No doubt, this universe is an infinite stretch of lattice
Woven in the loom through billions of years by gratis
Where myriad wonders exist in the intergalactic space
And man has been on relentless effort to trace their course
As the wheels turned and as the fires burned
Through cosmic vapor the first atom was churned
How, over the eons, life here has flourished
With man’s wisdom and efforts nourished!
Galaxies are scattered in infinite space
And our planet Earth is well balanced in place
After the day’s vigil, when the mighty sun sets
The stars invariably take over on their night shifts
Multitudinous stars glitter and twinkle, a wondrous sight
As branching chandeliers, shedding luminous light
They are gems donning the night sky with their splendor
Where meteors dash and star light dances in nebulous glare
Some extra terrestrial hand has set the Earth in tune
And everything needed to hold life is benevolently strewn
Through countless dawns and sunset
Endless generations did come and beget
Just as this universe was born, it would one day die
With all the planets, stars and starlets of the sky
Who can predict how it is going to end
With a bang or whimper, or is the end impend?
very detailed, very prophetic and very poetic work! a fine read knowledgeable!
What a truly epic write. I love the narrators speculative tone which is almost the voice of a seer, a seeker of truth with beautiful turn of phrase here and there. I loved the metaphor of the night stars as chandeliers. Hope to discover more such powerful pieces.
What a great write! Enjoyed reading! I hope someday we would be stars in the sky and children would look up and wonder what we had left behind!
In the cosmic expanse who can decide what is up what is down? No one knows how it was created. No one knows how it will end. New stars and planets get created. Cosmos is ever expanding. You have attempted to explain the creation and its operation with a beautiful poem. Thank you.
Really the cosmos is very wonderful and we have to bow before its grandeur. Here so many stars and galaxies are scattered in infinite space. No one can predict properly the end of universe. Where there is birth there is death, but no one can say about it properly. The last stanza reveals a philosophical touch that you have painted so movingly. Beautiful poem.10
Mirza Ghalib wrote: - Na tha kutch to khuda tha kutch na hota to khuda hota, Duboya mujhko hone ne na hota main to keya hota. (When there was nothing there was God, if I would not have been created I would have been God, I was ruined due to my creation, If I would not have been created what a thing I would have been!)
Quiet interesting topic with philosophical write. Very true said.... Just as this universe was born, it would one day die With all the planets, stars and starlets of the sky Who can predict how it is going to end... No one know how and when its going to end. Beautiful poem. Loved it. Thank you Valsa for the lovely comment.

A very beautiful poem. Cosmos is a wonder to behold. We can bow in awe or terror or simple devotion according to our own emotions, it doesn't diminish its grandeur nor does the human desire to know and learn more about it. Thank you for such lovely poem.
