Once upon a timeless place
Something awoke in endless space.
Alone it wandered, lost and free,
Wondering what it could be
Naught but emptiness around
Nothing to see, not a sound
It called out, hoping for an ear
But there was no one there to hear
It had slept an eternity
And now its time to wake had come.
But why, it asked, I do not see
What is it that must be done?
It waited eons; nothing came
To answer it, and so it thought,
Why should I keep this all the same?
What I want is what I ought.
What do I want? It could not tell
Anything but this empty hell
Let there be light, so all may see
But who is "all"? I am just me.
Now it knew what it must do:
Create, and let life flourish too
And the first thing it would try:
Another god; the time was nigh
For creation's spark to light the way
A new being, for company
And so the lonely god did say
Bring forth a companion for me!
Its will was done; a second lived
A friend with whom to talk and play
That is, if it had thought to give
A world too, a place to stay.
The first one started work anew;
A universe of wonder grew
Planets, stars, and galaxies,
Even singularities.
All was bound with natural laws
Effects follow after cause
Beautiful simplicity,
Except for quantum gravity
The companion looked on it and said,
What is this madness? What about me?
You created me, to here you led;
What do you want? How can I please?
The creator responded not
For it was lost in its own art
Who it once loved, it had forgot,
Breaking its creation's heart
And so the young one left in tears
And gave in to its deepest fears:
Solitude in endless night
Without a loving friend in sight.
With naught outside, inward it turned
Where the flame of hope still burned
For it was made with power great
It decided it too would create!
A million worlds, and millions more
Each so different from the last
Life came to being with a roar,
Echoing in the space so vast.
But none provided what it sought
A friendship true, what it lived for
Was all its work then just for naught?
There had to be yet something more.
The god went down to earth below,
Bringing with it summer snow
It walked among its people dear,
And called to them so they might hear
Its cries for love and attention
And all of its desperation.
They saw its power and they fled
For ancient tales they had read
Of gods and demons, things unseen.
True or not they did not know
But toward caution they did lean
Lest this being cause them woe.
But it followed them and said,
Why do you hide? Why do you run?
I have no ill thoughts in my head
All I want is peace and fun.
Slowly subjects came around
Indeed, a peaceful god they found
Not a threat, no cause to hide,
A blessing come down to their side.
They exalted it with highest praise
Continued to their final days
Above all else, a glory great
But they knew nothing of its fate
Worshiped by all, it still was sad
Not enough love; still too much fear
A friend and equal would make it glad,
Someone for it to hold dear.
It would not find friendship here
Only fear, and loathing too
Perhaps far would be best, not near;
It vanished from its subjects' view.
Back to the Void it went, and cried
For even though so much it tried,
Nothing yet had filled its soul
With the love to make it whole.
Its creator fast asleep,
Adrift in such a slumber deep
The young one fell into despair
Perhaps friendship was just too rare.
In its pain it did lash out
Destroying that which it had made
But there grew a seed of doubt
Always there; it would not fade
Was this really what it must?
Destined always to be alone?
Worlds reduced to ash and dust
Nowhere could it find a home.
And yet a single place was spared:
Its first, for which it always cared
But still it could not bear the sight,
So jealous was it of their light
The light of harmony and friends
And for this great and noble end
The ponies there did live in peace
All hardships gone, their warring ceased.
The god shrank back into its mind
Wondering what it should do
How to approach these things so kind
To reinvent itself anew
All its past it must forget
Keep hold of only those things good
All those who with fear it met
Let them go is what it should.
Think happy thoughts, never sad
Then all that happens can't be bad
Bringing others joy and fun;
That is what must now be done.
Abandon all the loss and pain
In order true friendship to gain
Descend once more to earth below
And take a pony form to show
Now she lives in harmony
Power mostly left behind
But still sometimes one can see
A crack in all the laws that bind
Remnants of her former self
Faded glory shining through
All she wants to do is help
And bring a smile to your face too.
An apparition of such pink
One cannot help but to think,
Surely she will bring a cheer
To all the ponies living here.
And when the physics laws she breaks,
So much more joy can she make.
Playfully, the godly one
Devotes her life to endless fun.
And what a life she will lead!
Spreading mirth across the land
Tales will tell of Pinkie's deeds
From shining seas to drifting sands
All will know her and rejoice
Eternal friend to ones in need
Those who meet her find their voice
And carry forth, with spirits freed!
