Islands of Ideas

So much to tell.

So much to relate.

Molten lava words bubble,

Rising to the surface, bursting out

In pyroclastic fury,

Building islands of ideas

Into unforgiving seas.

Life as we know it

Evolved on this spinning globe.

Moved from sea to land

In microscopic stages

Invisible by human scale.

It took hold, then buried roots

In scant soil amid the vast expanse

Of open hostile ocean

Growing a verdant paradise

For new forms to evolve.

Now, building islands

For new life to take hold,

It falls to us to begin the next stage

To seed the land

And plant the future.
