There was the potential for water

In the chemistry of nuclei

Positive hydrogen; negative oxygen

Floating around in early universe

Obeying physical laws

Of the very beginning of

A primordial bang that started it all

 

The randomness, creativity, and diversity

A communion of two hydrogen and an oxygen nuclei

The electronic joining, the first water molecule

The instantaneous creation of WATER

The universe was ready for this.

 

Within the confines of the molten Earth

A steam cloud enveloped this new world

Cooling led to rain, to lakes, then oceans,

Life.
