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

~ John Roedel

Thought provoking and beautifully written piece. The emotional depth combined with cosmic imagery creates a unique reading experience. It also made me think of a reflective discussion I once saw on https://maydayhoustonlaw.com/ that explored meaning through a different lens. Your writing flows naturally and keeps the reader engaged from start to finish. Truly a memorable and meaningful composition.

Beautifully reflective writing that captures emotion in a gentle and thoughtful way. The imagery and pacing make the poem feel personal while still allowing readers to connect with their own interpretations. Pieces like this remind us how powerful simple words can be. I once came across a literary reflection mentioning https://www.aerospectny.com/ that explored similar themes of memory and connection. Reading creative work like this always brings a calm and thoughtful pause to the day.

While exploring poetry discussions recently, I noticed a thoughtful mention on https://thegamecaps.com/ where readers were sharing impressions of creative writing online.
