“There is a ceaseless wind
over an unmapped sea”

---

This poem was inspired partly by reflections on popular theories of evolution and genetics, and partly by reflections on the nature of humanity, time and physical reality: what is change, and how and why does it really come about? Rather than propose scientific solutions, a higher aspiration seemed to me to try to encapsulate these matters in metaphor and lyrical verse. Above all, therefore, this poem is a celebration of chaos: the divine chaos of nature. . . the infinite sea of possibility from which each temporary form or order arises, and into which eventually it again dissolves.

The Dance

Simon Rees

I

Never is change progress,
never is it chance,
though we are a step
if time is the dance.

 

II

Chaos is not disorder;
it has its own symmetry,
a fluid naturality
in spontaneity.

Every purpose tires,
every pattern breaks,
and still we wish only
to fix the stakes.

But order does not dance,
nor can it respond or adapt;
fearing the disorder
of a world that has not been mapped.

Genes imply necessity,
but do not imply any goal
as perpetual variety
overrides each soul.

There is a ceaseless wind
over an unmapped sea,
keeping change alive
with or without you and me.
