My Love

Reborn again with this, the first beginning,
And so the universe begins to grow.
This time the "Big Bang" creates everything,
Some four point six plus billion years ago.

With its blast of atoms it made me such
Good friends that, by pure "accident" are mine.
For truly the accident of their touch
Is what for me, transcends this waist of time.

They say, spinning out through the atmosphere
Four billion years ago, this molten mass
Fell into the orbit that brought us here.
I know nothing in this universe will last.

True, but my love transcends this existence
And the consciousness of its impermanence.
