STARDUST
Infernal heat and pressure constrict into nothing.
No dimension.
No up. No down. No left or right.
Infinite density.
The nothingness erupts.
Dimension spreads, swelling quickly.
A storm of brightness touches heaven's four corners.
Gravity soon gathers and herds the shimmering beasts.
Feathers of light become trapped in a whirlpool.
Twisting. Twirling in the swirl of energy.
Atoms cumulate into glowing, spinning spheres.
Collapsing.
A spark ignites, thrusting forth warmth and light.
Rocks collide, sticking together.
Collecting and cooling within a cloak of steamy vapor.
Sunlight and rain bathe the globe with nourishment.
Molecules coagulate to form a lumpy mass.
It moves and grows and learns.
It contemplates.
Standing erect, it looks to the starry heavens and sees...life.
