Evershine

We are sons of suns
Rent from cosmic dust
Ageless yet ephemeral
From clay to bone to rust

Simmered in the primordium
A fusing organic stew
Each quantum thread unspooling
Into seeds from which we grew

Sparked by atmospheric bolts
A molecular genesis starts
Cellular replication explodes
The whole not the sum of its parts

Our code is bifurcated
A curved and complex line
Sine waves on all frequencies
Converge and intertwine

The pulse of our existence
Beats steadily in space
The primal call of history
That became the human race

On a scale of geological time
Each day can span a year
The thrust of evolution allows
Complexity from chaos to appear

Through incessant trial and error
Evanescent order can emerge
A perpetual work in progress
That feeds the final surge

Each nascent life created
Carries shadows of the past
Time marches indomitably on
Until next becomes the last

Quixotic in our nature
Prone to wanderlust
We’ll expand beyond our limits
When reality goes bust

Transcending beyond the physical
Our corporeal shells cease to be
The ultimate evolution unfolds
As consciousness becomes energy

There in our final form
The baseline patterns realign
In the darkness of infinity
Our luminescence can evershine
