About vacuum and creation

The Sun when setting
confers to landscapes
a denuded appearance,
mixing order and chaos.

Behind these shadowy
and colorful silhouettes
looms the skeleton of a
nearly complete vacuum,

of a desert filled with
matter and energy
being created constantly,
exchanging each other.

Hence the possibility that
everything was created
from almost nothing,
i.e, from a full void.
