This would barely qualify as a poem, and more of a thinly veiled theologic/metaphyical dissertation. It takes, from the start, far too much for granted, I.E. that all things originate as "pure energy." What method are you speaking of, the big bang? In that case, it technically does not originate of "Pure energy", but the infusion of energy into matter. The word thing tends to denote the concrete, particularly in your musings, and therefore, by your reckinging it would seem you believe matter was fashioned out of energy. Yes, individual form is made of energy, transmuted as you applied, but not being. There is the egg, and there is the life imbibed.

All in all, this may be the blossoming of a young and philosophic mind, yet ultimately it shows its limits. Denoting life as of a single sex,calling life imponderable which denies the very essence of the poem, for it is lifes ponderance...You take your beliefs far too much for granted. Matter and energy are two seperate and intimately harmonized forces, but one does not create the other, in any case. Matter is not destroyed, nor is energy, thus, not created. Only form is.
