Origins

Somewhere in the darkness a tiny wave of energy begins to oscillate It sends ripples of potentiality across the vast ocean of space The ripples turn into larger waves And create a shock that reverberates throughout the whole of the cosmos Tiny particles millions of light years away respond to the call They band together as one and form a tiny circle of spinning electrons in loose orbit surrounding its nucleus They jump up and down the quantum ladder Spinning faster, they become little balls clinging to one another Glued together by their opposing forces Life begins to take shape The message has been sent What form it takes is up to the collective A ball of mass and energy spins alone in the darkness, creating life as it turns Water boils as tectonic plates shift and collide Proteins bond as the double helix begins its first spiral The message has been heard Cells float along in the protoplasmic jelly That will be home to the first amoebic life form They divide and replicate as the first link in the chain is created The code has been written One celled amoeba evolve into algae that floats along in the primordial ocean A symbiosis has begun A pair of eyes peers through the murky water Intelligent life takes shape It swims to the edge of the ocean where it encounters land It takes one last look back at the giant womb that gave it life Curiosity takes over Throwing its body upon the land and gasping for air It ventures into the unknown blazing a trail for the rest to follow
