THANK YOU, Tess, for this lively presentation for Magpie Tales #71


EVOLUTION

Just one more wave, my friends,
swim with me over the spray.

We'll drop our scales,
grow legs to walk on land.

Call ourselves evolved.

This piece seems to be taking people to a simple, evolving place. There is certainly the motion of your waves.

It's all been said. The power of a few words. Well done.

Lyn said...

Hi Martin H.-
Like what you said..a few words...thank you!!

Harry & Lisa said...

wondering...is this about evolution of man or evolution of a specific man within a lifetime... perhaps both. simply written, but thought provoking.

Lyn said...

Hi we are the we-
Welcome...
I think possibly it's about ego, that walking upright proves we're evolved...or.....
Thanks!
