and the scrolls of Creation are unfurling;
ten-thousand cataracts are loudly roaring,
whilst asteroids from outer space are hurtling;
and round the Sun the planets are whirling,
circling, with the curvature of space-time;
the Milky Way galaxy goes swirling,
and spiraling, into the great sublime.
The Big Bang, as grand as Homeric rhyme,
expanded beyond orders of magnitude,
into the Universe, which, for all time,
will swell beyond its cosmic longitude.
How all of space and time became designed,
who knows? But let the answer be divined!

All of Space and Time
When the angelic hosts are swiftly soaring,and the scrolls of Creation are unfurling;
ten-thousand cataracts are loudly roaring,
whilst asteroids from outer space are hurtling;
and round the Sun the planets are whirling,
circling, with the curvature of space-time;
the Milky Way galaxy goes swirling,
and spiraling, into the great sublime.
The Big Bang, as grand as Homeric rhyme,
expanded beyond orders of magnitude,
into the Universe, which, for all time,
will swell beyond its cosmic longitude.
How all of space and time became designed,
who knows? But let the answer be divined!
