Amino acids churning, swirling                    
In the tides of New Earth’s seas!


Tossed and turned 
And cooled and burned
And flung before the breeze!
God's laughter roars! 
and Life is born!            

 His work has just begun!

 Small Plants climbing, crawling, pining,           
 
Living, dying, 
Growing, trying...
 
To take the dry thus untamed lands!
Pioneers to 
an Ungreen world!
 
Cold winds! Dry air!
 
Millenniums of toil!
 
Sinking roots into the hard rocks.
 
Splitting stones to  SOIL!

 
We come;
 
hunting, warring, snarling;
 
Clothes  and clubs and coins and spears;
 
First sense of God and Love Beyond.
 
First agonizing Cosmic FEARS!
 
Words upon the printed page'        
Pots and  bricks and wheels and FIRE!!   

But  like the Plants the inward longing!
Deep inside the same desire!          
               


Starships surging, sailing, soaring!                                                                     ­     
   Silver bits of flotsam flung;                                                                                          
  Watched by the Mighty Lord of Hosts!                                                                           ­              
 His work has just begun.
Seeds blown by the Winds of Man!                                                                          ­                                                                 ­                                                  
To multitudes of suns, such toil!                                                                    

To sink our roots in alien sands!                                                              To change a zillion worlds to Soil!
