Inducted without beginning,
disparate parts unify through drifts of time.
Chlorophyll draining from leaves,
ends photosynthesis to start new life
Alleles, individuals, and taxa drift
Shifting like the sands of time
Signs of vigor multiply over
the world, wiping each other into obscurity
Layers of plants intertwine,
Stretching back across the millenia, living, dieing, and decomposisng
Fossils shift and swirl on their journey to the future,
encased in shale like a museum display
A thousand species of butterfly
Wend through hypervolumes integrated over time
The wind blows with the same
Oxygen molecules breathed throughout the millennia
Clouds swirl overhead,
Dropping rain in bundles of oxygen, hydrogen, and sulfur
Emergent consistency:
The eternal zeitgeist of the forest
