darkened skies with hue of slate.
Swirling mistpools light years away,
far-flung world brings unknown day.
Loud chemicals mixed in strangebrine,
feed tidal pools with life confined.
We can't imagine what might be,
contained in distant galaxy.
On our blue rock there's much to see,
in all of its diversity.
Life on Earth can mystify,
from ocean depths to mountains high,
from single cell to complex form,
binary fission to creatures born.
But Here or There, one thing strikes me,
we're from a Singularity.
