Primordial Soup

//Universe Collapsing In Itself//There's a theory that the universe will collapse It has no permanence being here Out of the joyful being of creation There will be nothing left near Where does consciousness go then If there are no more traces of being? A shout to the void With no eyes left seeing It may be billions of years Before the time is yet to comeYet I’ll remember you, friend,In a faraway place where you’re from Your beingness is eternal Stardust, minerals, and more Yet you confine yourself to the prison With negative thoughts to endure You're a rarity of 1 in 400 trillion Take this chance and do it right The outside skin covers your inside Scintillating as the suns light

“Primordial Soup is a painting that imagines the idea of creation. The "Primordial Soup" refers to how life came to be starting from the early Earth's oceans being filled with organic molecules. The painting has a circle in the center, which can be seen as a microcosm of the painting. The microcosm is a representation of the tiny parts that make up the painting. At the same time, the circle also symbolizes the macrocosm of the universe by showing the vastness of the universe and the complexity of creation.”
