Singularity

Then Big Bang inflating to

Our Universe now

Extremes

  (Picture Credit - Extreme Weather by Istock)

Butterflies flutter and flitter

As wasps and bees zip about.

Yet sloths hang heavy

From lofty trees

As languid lions siesta in the shade.

 

Parched, hot deserts boil like iron in a furnace

Under a merciless sun

While glaciers freeze at the poles

In the black cold dark.

 

Soft breezes whisper amongst the grass and trees

But on another day the wind howls

Like a Banshee

Tearing those trees up by the roots

In a whirling chaos.

 

A tiny ant scuttles along the ground

Unaware of the towering Giraffe above

As it stretches its head into clouds of high leaves.

 

A day of angry black clouds

Is soon followed by a clear blue ocean sky.

For anything that can happen, will happen.

So expect the unexpected.

And glory in it all.
