All One
All from one –
A single cell –
Sipping magic
From the infinite well.
A unique fire,
Within a sea,
Exploding outwards,
Producing we.
Expanding force,
So unique.
A display of art,
Full of mystique.
From chemical
To awareness.
Its insane beauty
Could not prepare us.
In all the worlds
Throughout all time
Was never a creation
So divine.
Covering the surface
Of this jewel;
All from one
And one from all.
Opher – 22.4.2021
Life – the biggest, greatest, most wonderful spectacle in the whole universe.
Life. Starting just once.
From that magic cell, across billions of years, spreading like a forest fire, it rampaged across the planet to fill every nook and cranny.
Life. A mystery of wonder. The most unlikely event.
Just once.
Mutating to create every more elaborate form – ever more wondrous art.
Evolving.
Seeing, hearing, touching, feeling. Giving purpose to the universe.
Without us nothing is perceived. The wonders unappreciated.
Our joy and privilege is to perceive. Nothing more.
We are the eyes of the universe.
A happy accident.
All from one.
And we are but a tiny part of it all.
