Wondering How And Why Poem by Barry Middleton

before the universe existed
possibility waited
and quietly held its breath

before dew graced the garden
visions of mist
hid in unobserved emptiness

the steam of passion arose
only to waken light
so truth could be revealed

then fire and water united
to paint the wind
and fan desire into dreams

and within the dawn of time
a breeze stirred
and stars and moons exhaled

so it was till mountains rose
and human souls
and wondering how and why
