It is all colours 

It all began when the blues and the greens 
deciding to take the light and free oxygen 
from water.
Life gasped, breathed one inhalation at a time
cells grew, worlds multiplied
On one leg, two legs
...and hell lot of legs.
It swam, it slithered,
it walked, it ran, it danced,
it flew. 
Earth froze, volcanoes erupted, fires engulfed,
Asteroids struck, tsunamis drowned. 
Life survived.
It thrived. 
Then it grew thumbs.
It created.
It thought.
It paused.
Cells and atoms stared at each other
as if meeting the first time.
Conscious probed deeper. 
Subconscious aligned. 
It realized.
