As the cycle of life revolves
around the pathways of fate,
like a hourglass through passages of time
between peace and diabolical angst:
birth to perpetual senescence,
aging and demise renewing;
emergence from the depths towards
populating the worlds of evolution;
infinite cycles; repetitive
heralded in accordance by a higher power
crossing the seas of eternity
struggling; teeming with life
a redemption from bondage to freedom
cathartic purging of the souls
severing animalistic ties with promise
survival of the fittest adapted with hope
evolving within a spiritual vision ~
ascension of holy graces of everlasting life
not condemnation into darkness of evil
but manifestations of gilded light... for infinity

Very well done my friend, wonderfully expressed through elegant language and phrasing. The cycle of life is very much a "survival of the fittest" and this poem conveys that sentiment beautifully. The last two lines wrap the whole piece into a neat package. best wishes to you in the contest.
