The Start of the Universe: April 1992 - Elizabeth Jennings

They've heard the echoes of the starting stars,
They say, these physicists. I am amazed
And feel the sky is shrinking. Is it Mars
Or Saturn signaling? So they have blazed

A trail for us and some conclude this means
Chance is the master and creation is
A random happening. Yet each star leans
Upon our reckoning, and the galaxies

Shrink to our telescopes. I never thought
Creation could be easy or took place
In seven actual days. Now I am caught

Up with the physicists' conclusions, trace
Mankind's beginning to a wonder wrought
Aeons of echoes back, each one a grace.
