Before the cosmos - my love, there was you
Long before there were any stars
When the great empty void was packed full of a hundred-thousand other even emptier voids
There was a soft whisper in the dark
~ and maybe this whisper was more like a song ~ and maybe this song was more like a poem ~ and maybe this poem was more like a prayer
And this soft whisper that was a song that was a poem that was a prayer
kept uttering your name and saying
“I can’t wait for the day you come to find me”
yes, even before the first crack of Genesis lightning spread its dandelion seed across the cosmos
you were the first thing on the mind of a waking God
please hold on you matter more than matter itself
please hold on you have more time than time itself
please hold on you have existed before existence
please hold on

The explanation of Hindi Bhawan was helpful. I had heard the name before but never really looked into its background or significance.
The points shared about Vyakaran in Hindi were useful for clearing up some concepts I was unsure about.

This poetic piece creates a gentle feeling by imagining love as something that existed before stars, time, and the visible universe. The imagery feels intimate despite its cosmic scale, which gives the piece a memorable emotional contrast. It is the kind of writing that invites readers to pause rather than rush through the words. That appreciation for personal atmosphere also reminded me of https://candb.ca/ where custom Canadian made furniture can help create spaces with a deeply personal character. The emotional tone makes the piece linger in memory.
