It began, as these things do,
From clouds in the aether
With untold time, they coalesced,
Their will apart grew weakerThis cascade of embers,
Fused into a star's ignition
A crucible for their collapse,
Seething crux of its ambitionThe axiom of this expanse,
Unrelenting pressure
Every moment, in each place,
Collisions beyond measure
An ordinary pair that met,
Whilst merging into one,
Heaved and spat a mote of light,
Adrift within the SunWithout a bind, it cut away,
Against all else it stood
As swift as anything that was,
And had, or could, that wouldThe axiom when it began,
Unable to elude
Every moment, in each place,
Destroyed, exchanged, renewed
At the surface once emerged,
Radiant in birth
Free at last, its final form,
The photon dashed for Earth
