Delicate Balance - Accident Or Gift
mountains bob like corks
adrift on liquid magma -
pond scum shelters life
Earth’s magnetic shield -
magma’s gift of moving charge
thwarts sun’s deadly winds
continental drift -
neighborhoods fenced by oceans
breed diversity
random mutations
offer death or advantage -
unearned consequence
life’s adaptation
to universe in motion -
the true face of God
