Archean

In fields of ancient flowers
towering above us like guideposts
life weaves a quiet cosmos
of form, water and stone

And in the oceans
that cover the Earth
one creature hears the carrier wave
enfolding from a multiverse
collapsing to a universe
and bounded by the third dimension
forms molecules that swarm and multiply
in a drop of water

The spin
of the center
of a new world
shelters fragile beings
from solar wind
and brings the summer rain
