Relating Evolution

as the oceans are calm

lit by the effervescent lighting of the sun

rising and falling

creating the backdrop of a serene

moment in time

where on-lookers stop for a moment

to appreciate this passing

of which will never be the same

they look toward
the happy couple
with beauty and grace of which
bodies aligned naturally
in tune with one another
easing closer
with a comfortable silence


look beneath the surface of that same ocean
the habitats striving to exist
pollutants of the world around
adding pressure to survive against
mankind
against rivals and food chains
a once smooth surface
hidden within
the whirl tide of existence
that shall prosper
recreating its evolution
so much more to be seen
to survive, below the surface


the happy couple
publicly pronounced as 'perfect'
innately surrendering to compromise
in a world where competitive boundaries
lay no more
battling the storms of rough tides
and bigger fish
they struggle to exist
as one
calm on the outside
with a whirl wind of life
within
recreating self to accommodate
evolution
bound with strength and confidence
in their imperfections


so, they too, sit with the public eye
observing the beauty of God's light
and know,
there is so much more below the surface
it is the understanding of acceptance
that makes it perfect
that makes it surreal
that makes it ever changing
giving life the strength to exist
in the beauty of this night
where on-lookers pause
in reflection
of evolution
