Expectation The Mosaic

The universe is a mosaic, a new creation of the remnants of what came before, crafted in heat, tempered by pressure, molded by gravity and mass, by positive and negative charges and quantum particles and dark matter. It reflects and refracts light, bends it and scatters it, and holds solid until it begins to crack, made brittle by cold, until eventually it shatters into ragged pieces, the building blocks which will form something new.
