Panspermia, Wikipedia, The Free Encyclopedia

There were no witnesses
to what was about to happen.
There was water and there was earth;
Inert matter rained from the skies.
Heat scorched the land, dried the seas.
The world was aglow. Smoke choked the air.
Sometimes.
What air was this? What land? What seas?
Tremblors rumbled the roiling soil, mixing.
Waves lapped the land, mixing.
Some things sank; others bubbled up.
Then, a time of cooling; ephemeral peace.
A surge of combinations and reactions; slime in motion.
Accidental shapes; random splitting.
A chaining of stuffs; an attraction of likes.
A growth that outgrew others,
encompassed others.
Circling and twisting it became two.
And so it was.
Two became four, and grew.
Life began; or something like it.
Not like us
But us nonetheless.
