In The Beginning Poem by Savita Tyagi

In The Beginning

Rating: 5.0


In the beginning there was That.
On time's infinite wings it floated.

Some called it atom.
Where did it come from?
None could fathom.

Others called it Brahman,
Pregnant with atom.

In dark vacuum It stayed,
Conscious of Its power,
Stable and content
But tied to its movement.

Darkness was in It,
Yet fused It was, with Its own
Lustrous Light and enormous Energy.

It parted with what was needed
For the birth of Universe.
That too was filled with all of That.

A million eyes, a million ear
A million legs weren't enough
To measure what It contained.

Restless became That vast energy
Eager to burst out from dark hole of infinity.
Timeless chose to become temporal.
Unknown sought to become known.

Beyond Space became the spatial.
Sun, moon and planets were born.
Stars were scattered
Like shimmering sprinklers.

Its indivisible energy parted in all directions.
Chose a place and sphere
Of its own aerial attraction.

Forms, shapes and colors
Came in manifestation.

Seasons were made and life evolved.
Its amazing power and creativity
Was felt by all, in Nature, beast and humans.

To its beauty, bliss and luster
None was immune and
None was denied the rhythm.

A little of Its immortal bliss
Was lent to all worldly activities.

Our human mind became a wonder child of its
Beauteous inlay and intricate design.

In awe we sought to explore
Its marvelous complexity,
Or simply bowed in humility.

In the Beginning, a beautiful piece of work. In the beginning there was nothing nothingness prevailed. For, nought has immense potentiality. A day might come when when a huge black-hole starts devouring stars and galaxies, and one day nothing remains. And then one remote day this black-hole explodes to be another BigBang!

yikes! it's long, the poem, NOT the Supreme Being, ...though " It" may be long also. " a million earS" ha ha. " Unknown sought to become known." this, too, can be said of some P H poets! " humans" all contain a bit of 'the beast' i believe, but also a bit of 'the beauty'. " Our human mind became a wonder child of its " ..." its" OR " Its" ? i don't know. i like it. to MyPoemList. bri :)

It's fascinating to read your poem. Last stanza is superb. Human beings have always been intrigued by the nature of the universe, how life began...thanks for sharing.

None could fathom the atom and none could see it but they felt well its power. Its indivisible energy parted in all directions. Every manifestation has greater responsibility. This poem is excellently penned with greatness....10

While human anxiety is still exploring the origin of life in the universe we have a clear account of it in our four Vedas and six Sastras which are still supplemented by Ithihasas, Puranas, Smrithis, Sruthisand so on. Its a great thing that human minds have been created which is the wonder child bof its Beauteous inlay and intricate design. Marvellous and beautiful....10
