Evolution is when the simple becomes complex,

      and the complex into intricate;

yet the intricate to complex, reverting into simple,

      when fail the process to replicate.

Evolution is forward and backward through time,

      simultaneous, spontaneous;

an explosion of diversity of all kinds imagined,

      in chains, webs and continuous. 

Evolution is untrodden, unguided, by chance

      in a million possibilities beyond

the eye or lens, and probing mind and will,

      in the depth of sea, or just around. 

Evolution is de-volution, shrinking, thinning -
      extinction by nature and by man - 
plant-animal fusing, moneran-protist pooling;
      prelude to a living world gone. ~
