Birth of Life

Birth of Life

There is this movement
fast and slow
ingenious and gentle
the right conditions at the right time
as a new world is formed

There is this coincidence
complex and unique
incredible and genuine
in one split second
the creation of a Universe
as a new future is born

Temperature, light, energy
time, space and curvature
exact synchronization
of an instant wonder

There is this movement
that results in
the birth of life
