Unraveling - an art work by T Newfields

Unraveling


someday it will no longer be a mystery
how paramecium from ancient seas
became creatures
in starships traversing galaxies

then perhaps we'll understand
how stellar debris
evolved into intelligent beings
& cosmic dust
manifested as the objects we see

someday today's advanced discoveries
will seem simple & matter-of-fact

If we cooperate
& live in peace
our offspring will
know everyday miracles:

we’re not the final products
of evolution –
just tiny worms
moving forward
one fraction of one inch
