so many theories
about “in the beginning;”
more numerous are
speculations of the end;
some mysteries shall remain

Written for Poetic Asides 2012 PAD Challenge Day 14: write a “Doomsday” poem…as well as for Poetic Bloomings “In-Form” poet: Tanka (a five-line poem consisting of a syllable pattern of 5/7/5/7/7).
echoes from the silence 
were it not for mysteries life would be boring…like this little piece.

Nononono….I didn’t read that into your comment at all. 🙂 Yes…Life would be boring if we didn’t have those mysteries to keep us pondering. But…thanks for the follow-up.
