Energy, Being, and Void

Emergence

Out of darkness and ice
Freezing mountain caverns held tight
Elemental crystals bound up light
No running water or cool stream's breathe
Planet was barren, sea water still

Starlight broke through, as galaxies changed
It was just me and you
Potential and empty form

We were there with our starry hair
Filling glops of rain as they came
Plundering through the tundras

Out of energy rearranged
Tall trees climbed to their peaks
Nothing then was the same
Species bred insane
It was all a new game

Vertebrae and brain, the path to see
Monkeys gathered closely, singing tree melodies!
No blues were shattering the peace

Monkeys breeding furiously
Having a passionate shopping spree
And look what came to be

An upright heart!, countering
Nature's grace
An ape man heart lifted skyward
To contemplate the way

Buried subconsciously, dizzying sound
Teased the walking ape
With fireplace dreams, morphing skull rocks
Paint across the sky and palms
At every deadly cost!
Caves and plains were scattered
Splattered through the shaman desert
All else is history
