In the beginning was the spark
That lit eternity's dark
Silence.
Poppy seeds too
From their capsule explode
And from a black mist
Many stars appear.
Much later the words
Coded our wonder.
What a beautiful poem. This is so terse, yet evokes the entire universe. I'm saving this one. Excellent! Poppy seeds too! That's a little stroke of genius...I would have used Chia seeds though....
Poppy seeds. Guilty secret. Forgot to disturb the earth after the fall. Result no poppies this year! Loved fabrizio's translation and your poem Stripped bare. Magical both! tom

I would like to translate this poem
And from a blank mist Many stars appear But, only by the command of the Almighty! Thanks for sharing, Tom!
Thank you Clarence. Nice comment. Tom
