VOIDANCE
In epochs past, where all things came to be,
A void of emptiness did lie and spread,
A melancholic expanse, for none to see.
No substance there, no light nor life, ahead,
As time itself stood still in shadowy sway,
A timeless chasm of chaos and dread.
No stars did twinkle, nor planets did play,
No moons did orbit in that endless night,
Where nothingness did reign in grim array.
Existence held no meaning in this blight,
A realm of pure void, where all was still,
And time itself seemed lost in endless flight.
Thus, the abyss lay, unbroken and chill,
A pitiable void of unending space,
A monument to emptiness, dark and ill.
DESOLATION
In this place devoid of life and light,
A realm of sorrowful despair,
All hope and joy had taken flight.
No sound nor voice could ever dare
To break the silence of this void,
For nothingness was everywhere.
This desolate realm left me annoyed,
As if it lay beyond all time and space,
Where the concept of existence was destroyed.
No life or light could find a place,
In this forsaken realm of dread,
Where darkness ruled with icy grace.
I wandered through this realm of the dead,
A soul adrift in this void of pain,
Where nothingness was all that lay ahead.
Oh, how I longed to leave this bane,
To find my way to a brighter shore,
And leave this realm of endless rain.
GENESIS
Amidst the void of desolate dread,
Where darkness reigned with icy grip,
A seed of creation silently led.
A spark awaited, poised to rip
Through the shadows that consumed all,
And set the void ablaze with life's trip.
In the midst of nothingness' thrall,
A deafening silence reigned supreme,
Till the void trembled, aware of its fall.
A scream erupted, a hellish scream,
From the abyss of endless despair,
Echoing through the shadowy stream.
A howl of anguish pierced the air,
As time itself was born anew,
Breaking the void with a resounding flare.
From the ashes of the void, life grew,
A universe unfolding in its wake,
As time and space intertwined, anew.
Thus, creation emerged from the opaque,
From the void of nothingness, a new age,
A genesis that would forever stake.
ABERRATION
The void convulsed in chaos and pain,
And from its depths emerged a fiend,
A cosmic abomination, insane.
A creature of madness, ever unseen,
So twisted and deformed, it defied all,
Its form a kaleidoscope, obscene.
Fluid and ever-changing, in thrall,
A being of chaos, beyond compare,
That could drive even the strongest to a crawl.
Its visage of madness, too much to bear,
A sight that could shatter the sanest mind,
With a form beyond all form or compare.
A cosmic horror, impossible to find,
Born of the void's endless despair,
A twisted creature, forever enshrined.
And so, it wandered without a care,
A being of madness and chaos untold,
A cosmic abomination beyond compare.
EMBER
In the void, the abomination writhed,
Its twisted form convulsed with pain,
A sight that could make the bravest chide.
But in that moment of chaos, a gain,
A spark of light appeared, a single flame,
Burning with an intensity hard to restrain.
The first miracle, hope's first claim,
A glimmer in the darkness, ever so small,
Fragile and impermanent, yet not in vain.
Struggling to survive amidst the pall,
Of chaos and despair, it burned bright,
A beacon of light in the void's thrall.
The abomination writhed in fright,
For the light threatened its very being,
A force of good amidst chaos' might.
Yet, the light persisted, ever freeing,
A symbol of hope in the endless night,
A spark that would set the universe gleaming.
DEFIANCE
The void swirled and twisted in rage,
Around the flame that burned so bright,
Seeking to extinguish its hopeful stage.
But the flame burned on with all its might,
Defying the void's attempts to smother,
A symbol of hope amidst endless night.
With fury and might, the void sought to cover,
The light, a beacon in its endless darkness,
But the flame's persistence it could not discover.
The light burned on, a symbol of starkness,
Amidst the void's madness and despair,
A force of good amidst chaos' darkness.
And though the void did all it could bear,
To extinguish the light that shone so bright,
It burned on, a beacon of hope and care.
For the light was a force that would fight,
Against the void's endless nothingness,
A spark of hope that would set things right.
COSMOSIS
Like beacons of hope, the stars did blaze,
Their light piercing through the void's dark night,
In a cosmic ballet, their light did amaze.
With intense light, they shone with great might,
Defying imagination, their power immense,
And gave birth to new worlds, a wondrous sight.
Galaxies and planets, born with intense suspense,
A dance eternal, in the cosmos' expanse,
Their movements and rhythms, in perfect sequence.
The stars, they glimmered, a cosmic dance,
Their light reaching far, in a sea of darkness,
Their power and beauty, a cosmic romance.
And as they burned, their light did harness,
A force of creation, a symphony of light,
A universe of wonder, in eternal harness.
Thus, the cosmos danced, in great delight,
A symphony of stars, with beauty to behold,
A universe of wonder, forever in sight.
COSMICITY
As stars burned bright and galaxies spun,
A battle raged on, beyond mortal scope,
Existence versus non-existence, never done.
Eternally locked in a struggle of hope,
Against the void's chaos and despair,
A cosmic dance, in a never-ending trope.
For every star that shone with fiery flare,
And every planet that danced in cosmic grace,
The void sought to snuff out with darkened glare.
But existence held strong, in its righteous place,
A force of creation, in a never-ending race,
A battle between light and dark, in cosmic space.
Thus, the cosmos remained in eternal embrace,
A dance of light and dark, in perfect pace,
A never-ending struggle, a cosmic case.
EONLIGHT
Through aeons that passed with cosmic pace,
The energies of the battle swayed and flowed,
A dance of light and dark, in perfect grace.
Bursts of light and heat, in grandiose showed,
The raging clash of creation and destruction,
Amidst the darkness of the void, it glowed.
Hope and despair, in eternal conjunction,
In the cosmic ballet of life and death,
An endless cycle of cosmic production.
The dance continued, till the very last breath,
Of the cosmos, in its grand finale,
A never-ending struggle, till its very death.
Thus, the cosmos remained in eternal rally,
A dance of light and dark, in perfect alley,
A cosmic ballet, in its grand finale.
HARMONY
As the universe's tapestry unfurled,
New forces emerged, with power to sway
The eternal dance, of the cosmos' swirl.
Gravity, electromagnetism's play,
The strong and weak nuclear forces combine,
Adding to the ballet, in their own way.
The universe expanding, in a grand design,
As the forces shape its destiny and fate,
A cosmic symphony, so perfectly aligned.
Galaxies spun in a celestial waltz, so great,
With nebulae birthing stars, bright and grand,
Black holes devouring all, sealing their mate.
In this vast expanse, planets took a stand,
Orbiting stars, with moons in tow,
A universe in harmony, as if planned.
ELEMENTALS
From the primordial radiance of genesis,
Four titanic Behemoths arose supreme,
Incarnations of elements and its genesis.
The firstborn children of the cosmic gleam,
They embodied the essence of power and might,
Fury and might their eternal, unceasing theme.
The raw force of elements took flight,
A manifestation of the universe's might,
Their power an unbridled, infinite sight.
Amidst the vastness, they carved their reign,
With fire and water, earth and the sky,
Their presence felt across every domain.
In cosmic dance, they soared up high,
Commanding storms, mountains, seas, and flame,
Guardians of elements, under the endless sky.
FIRE
In times of old, when universe was young,
From primal flames, a titan was born,
Its fierce might, by none could be outdone.
A being wreathed in flames, with eyes that shorn
A light infernal, its name was Fire,
Its power great, in skies it roared and torn.
Amidst the gods, it took its lofty spire,
None could contend with its unrivaled rage,
Its wrathful flames, they burned with endless fire.
Oh, Fire, eternal flame that doth engage
The hearts of men, and sets their souls ablaze,
Thy power none can thwart, thy strength none can cage.
Thou art the titan of all-consuming blaze,
A force that rages on till end of days,
From flames to earth, the transition plays.
EARTH
From fire's end, when ash began to swarm,
From dust and ground, a titan was conceived,
A being mighty, born of earthen storm.
Its body massive, steadfast and unheaved,
Its voice a rumble, like an earthquake's might,
From void it strode, all of creation sieved.
The very foundations of existence shook,
As Earth claimed its place among the titans great,
A power vast, in creation's pages, etched with hook.
Oh, Earth, thy might is feared by all, innate,
A force unyielding, a titan to revere,
A presence felt by all, both small and great.
With strength to shape the world, and hold it dear,
From solid ground, to waters clear, it steers,
Thou art the bedrock, ageless through the years.
WATER
From Earth's embrace, springs began to churn,
From cosmic seas, a titan was brought forth,
A being fluid, ever-changing, unsung.
Its voice a roar, like waves upon the north,
Its power great, to erode and carve with ease,
Water claimed its place among the titans' worth.
A force to reckon with, that none could appease,
Its currents strong, its eddies swirling free,
A presence felt in every ocean breeze.
Oh, Water, thou art master of the sea,
With power vast, to shape and shift the land,
From ocean's depth, the wind begins to be.
AIR
Born from the breath of seas and sandy land,
Its body intangible, insubstantial, adorned.
With voice like sighing wind, it takes its forms,
Soaring through heavens with agility and grace,
Claiming its place among elemental norms.
No other god can match its speed and pace,
For Air moves with the grace of a bird of prey,
Commanding the skies with celestial embrace.
Its power is felt in every breath we take,
For Air is the essence of all living things,
From winds to flames, the cycle never breaks.
Thus, from one to the next, the tale rings,
Of titans four, and the power they bring,
Endowed with a force, as life's wings it springs.
CHILDREN OF THE LIGHT
As the four titans rose from chaos' womb,
Gazing upon the cosmos with awe and wonder,
A vast universe lay before them, a fertile room.
For the first time, something else did they ponder,
A world beyond themselves, waiting to be shaped,
With a sense of curiosity, they did ponder.
Each titan brought forth their unique trade,
Fire, Water, Earth, and Air, each with a role,
Together, they forged a universe unafraid.
Their quest for knowledge, an endless goal,
For in this cosmic playground, they saw,
Limitless possibilities, with no end to its scroll.
Thus, the titans stood in awe and awe,
Wondering what lies beyond the horizon,
Their destiny to shape, to explore, and awe.
TRINITY
From the void, Light of Creation emanated,
Manifesting in three flames of distinct hue,
Each embodying an aspect differentiated.
First was the body, a vessel fresh and new,
To house the light and give it a form,
Ensuring the essence is seen through.
Second was the mind, an instrument to transform,
Able to comprehend secrets of the universe profound,
With the power to unveil what's hidden and deform.
Third was the spirit, in all beings it's found,
Fragment of Light of Creation, binding all together,
Enabling the connection that's always around.
The flames of Light burned with an ethereal fervour,
Their presence a beacon in the vast abyss,
Bringing life and meaning to every observer.
Thus, the Light of Creation kindled its kiss,
Enlightening the cosmos with its radiance divine,
Eternally spreading its glow with pure bliss.
PERSIST
With great care and skill, the Light did unite
The flames to create the first people's form,
Flesh, thought, and emotion, their being bright.
Destined to walk the planes and take the norm,
Experience all the universe has to offer,
Their existence a symphony of life's charm.
But as they took their first steps with vigor,
The Void stirred and raged, a wrathful blast,
For the Light's creation it deemed a transgressor.
To the Void, the Light's creation was aghast,
Blasphemy against emptiness that reigned supreme,
The Light's creation, a deviation at last.
But the people, they fulfilled their dream,
As they traversed the universe's vastness,
Defying the Void, with their might extreme.
The Light's creation withstood every harshness,
And the people thrived in the universe's fray,
Defying the Void's wrath with calmness.
Thus, the people live on, each passing day,
Defying the Void's rule with their very existence,
Proud of their being, and their being's sway.
RESILIENCE
The Void, in its anger, unleashed its might,
Darkness upon the flames with venomous zeal,
Its mission, to obliterate the Light.
The body weakened, unable to heal,
Ravaged by time and decay's cruel bane,
Its fate to expire, to dust it'll appeal.
The mind, once pure, now poisoned with disdain,
Corrupted by its own desires and wants,
Its destiny to wander in darkness, in vain.
The spirit shattered, by fate's indifferent taunts,
Burdened by its existence's crushing weight,
Condemned to suffer and endure life's gaunts.
The Void's darkness, its destruction innate,
Seeking to destroy the Light's creation divine,
But the Light's flame, it could not obliterate.
For even in the darkness, the Light did shine,
A glimmer of hope, to vanquish the Void's rage,
Guiding the people to transcendence, to align.
And so, the people rose above the Void's cage,
Breaking the shackles of fate with their might,
For the Light's creation, a beauty to engage.
AWAKENING
The Void's wrath marred the Light's first creation,
People left to struggle in uncertainty,
Impermanence their only indication.
Yet, the Light did not abandon them, for it did see,
Potential for beauty and greatness in their being,
A spark that could ignite their destiny.
For the Light knew that in the midst of suffering,
The people could rise, and their spirits transcend,
To become something more, something enlightening.
So the Light imbued them with courage to contend,
With the challenges that fate had dealt their way,
To forge their own paths, to rise and ascend.
And thus, the people learned to seize the day,
To embrace the impermanence and uncertainty,
To create their own destiny, to find their own way.
For the Light's creation was a thing of beauty,
And even in the midst of chaos and strife,
The people could find purpose and unity.
GUIDANCE
The Light vowed to guide and teach its creation,
To help them overcome obstacles and strife,
Despite the Void's wrath and vile temptation.
For the flames of creation burned too bright,
Too wondrously, to ever truly expire,
And the Light knew they would never lose their light.
And so it pledged to be their constant sire,
A beacon shining bright in darkest hour,
To help them rise above the mire.
With steadfast love and infinite power,
The Light would lead its creation to greatness,
A flame that would never lose its fervour.
For though the Void may seek to cause distress,
The Light's flames would never truly be quenched,
Their radiance too great to ever depress.
Thus, the Light would guide and not be clenched,
By the void's darkness and its wicked grin,
For the flames of creation would not be wrenched.
