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
The will to overcome the extreme
