“Every creation begins in silence… like a spark suspended within the shadow.”
Amid the void and the penumbra,
a silent seed was burning,
a small red and luminous sphere
that shattered the stillness of the universe.
The surrounding shadow contemplated it
like an ancient god newly born,
while the still-unknown fire
uttered its very first heartbeat.
The side forms ascended
like wings protecting the birth
of that which the ages would one day fear.
And the center, transformed into a firmament,
seemed like a heart that was still
slowly learning movement itself.
It was not a sphere… it was the origin,
the first emotion of matter,
the inaugural blood of that era
where light conquered the gray abyss.
It was life entering the chasm,
creation breaking through infinity,
an eternal, cosmic, and blessed fire
being born from God unto Himself.
