Moontanman Posted May 30, 2007 Report Posted May 30, 2007 Scattered across the sky, points of light to the naked eyeFiery orbs of red to blue, storms of violence unimagined to the mindMagnetic flames caress companions held in gravity’s bondCreating colors of heat-less flame in the sky Curtains of light shimmer and raceEvidence of magnetic defense from the companion’s heartAllowing a strange twist of entropy to multiply, exist and expandDefiance! Of the law that binds time and space Order and arrangement, chemical reactions grow more complexIn spite of the necessity to become simple and scatteredThings that move and should not exist,Mostly their form is no more than specks Completion spawns in entropy’s mirrorCooperation magnifies the mirror’s effect Forming masses of pulsating beings with no sense of timeNeoteny allows the young to steal from the old, that which is superior Complexity drives the defiance of lawSoon awareness of surrounding space Drives the increasing awareness of self and othersThe more aware leads the less to their maw While others escape to new spaces the aggressive can’t pursueOther less mobile forms raise antennae to absorbAll the energy of the glowing light from the skyCompetition is fierce between the motile and those that look to the blue Competition and cooperation step up the paceWhat will grow, multiply, dominate, or die Soon the liquid that dissolves the chemicals from othersNo longer surrounds those that have moved to the surface The surface is dry most of the timeRequires sex cells to become motileWhen the rain comes, unknown and unseen, sex covers the wet earth Sex cells swim up the trunks of trees allowing growth to dizzying heights The ones that move will not be left behind in this assault on the landHatched in the water but able to walk and slitherAnimals join the plants in conquest of the landEating not only the tall forms that feed on light but each other as well Eons pass neoteny makes the grade again and againAnimals revert to their larval forms again to hasten changeSoon warm beings rule the cool dry landFirst four legs then two strut out of the forest and across the land On of these tall neotenic beings walks into the morning sunHis mate and child walk with himLarge brains, opposable thumbs, reach for the groundPulling up a flower yellow as the sunThe man holds the yellow sex organ of the plant and sees beauty His mate smiles, they turn to continue on towards domination of the world Michael Hissom Quote
