Reaching for the Sun
04:04
|

I reach for the sun
catch one photon
use it to
split water
rearrange atoms
grab another carefully
building molecules
it's a leap of evolution
new and powerful
life is creation
creation
I reach for the sun
catch more photons
the joy of growing
expand my being
joy in life
unlimited
unbounded
its a leap of evolution
new and powerful
this is creation
creation
reach for the sun
reach for the sun
reach for the sun
reach for the sun!

cyanobacteria
on my mind
nothing that earth can do
can hold them back
rusting the iron
oxygen spirals
disaster that remakes all of earth
all of life anew
cyanobacteria on my mind
nothing Gaia can give or take
will hold them back
transform the iron
generates poison
stromatolites rule the earth
reconfigure life again!

Warm Shallow Ponds
02:43
|

In
warm,
shallow ponds,
Where the sun always shines,
At first,
simple cells,
Floating in warm water
The algae thrived and spread.
Covering the ponds in green
And providing for life ahead.
The algae thrived.
The algae thrived.
With time the cells did combine.
Learning to be one being,
cooperate for a purpose.
The plants thrived.
The plants thrived.
In warm, shallow ponds,
Where the sun always shines,
At first,
simple plants
Floating in ocean water

feeling us
by chemical touch
sensing us
we come together
gather in
our cells begin blending
magic as we merge
sense of self emerges
many become one!
we learn to depend
on each other
live strives to be
special tasks
we all become more
potential growing
each step together
evolution
add to our identity
magic as we merge
sense of self emerges
many become one!
we learn to depend
on each other

soldiers
stepping
a root upon the land
slowly
raising
sleepy heads
of green leaves
close to the ground
and water too
the first step from home
from the little pool
standing tall
on root upon the land
taller
stronger
brighter
leaves of green aspire
spreading to the land
from water's edge
the first steps upon land
along the waters shore
the first steps upon land
along the shore line
the roots dig into land
define the shore line
soldiers stepping a root
upon the land
slowly raising
sleepy heads of green leaves
close to the ground
and water too
the first step from home
from the little pool
standing tall
on root
upon the land
taller
stronger
brighter
leaves of green aspire
spreading
to the land
from water's edge
the first steps upon land
along the waters shore
the first steps upon land
along the shore line
the roots dig into land
define the shore line

Fern Valley
04:12
|

as far
as I see
only green green green
only green green green
as fronds unfurled
and rise
carpet of green ferns
rising to the sky
green
green
fern valley
the verdant valley
on the land now
roots dig for water
grow
grow
taller the ferns
of green
of green
my green leaves
reaching up fern valley

Flowers

a flower
such a profound step
such a complex thing
they develop
they manipulate the birds and bees
without a brain and no sight
they mimic the world around them
of moving things
how many flowers?
how many flowers?
how many flowers?
before...
perfection
every
flower
the artistic
solution
to survival
flowers
a flower
such a profound step
such a complex thing
they develop
they manipulate the birds and bees
without a brain and no sight
they mimic the world around them
of moving things
how many flowers?
how many flowers?
how many flowers?
before...
perfection
