On the World

It began with a bang

It began with a whimper

It began in silence

and in noise

It came so quickly,

slowly out of the void

And juggled around

like a child's toys

The way it began.

The way it ends.

It starts with a whimper

And it ends with a bang.

personal comments - boy, is that a storm I sense coming? Probably . . . the wind's been picking up all day. on the poem . . . It's based on the T.S. Eliot quote "This is the way the world ends, not with a bang but a whimper." I just sorta started thinking about that . . .
