in their joining
a new Earth revealed nearly full term
its long gestation
the dance of evolution's history
in the dreams of countless nights and days
quietly awaiting the moment of bursting
a man and a woman
composed from the depths of space
themselves created by the hand
of some mysterious power
gaze into each other's eyes
speaking the silent language of eternity
their hair of starry firmament
a cocoon for birth's glory
a new beginning
for a world yet to know itself
