extremophiles (a)

growing

years of reforming

reshaping the ways

capable of responding to change

flowing in between spaces

in which only few dare to venture

and fewer return

slowly morphing

into something more

to live they must learn to adapt

entering stasis

replacing water with glass

showing traces of traits

remaining in places

inhospitable and dangerous

slowly morphing

into something more

swirling whirlpool of genes

primordial stewing

developing skills to survive the extreme

stowing deep and away

freezing or searing

or ejected into the vacuum of space

slowly morphing

into something more

to live they must learn to adapt

entering stasis

replacing water with glass

they will adapt

thrown

into the open

shores

from where is born

hope

for long surviving hosts

swirling whirlpool of means

to ends out of reach

developing will to overcome the extreme
