Botanical formulations,
from the Prairie’s chemically radiant odes,
Emit sky-high projections,
taller than a word’s monument,
to all Avians known.
Living the dreams of a sub lunar Fire Weed,
ensnared in the pointillist mysticism of a light cascading Willow;
The Prairie’s roving medicinal airs,
dapple a mesmerizing skin, bathing where the shade grows;
Fragmenting one’s terrestrial wears,
as original nature roves;
In a whirling procession,
of religiously glowing Oak clones.
The Prairie rides a dreaming peace,
to sublimate human health;
Along the vortice of reasoning, captured in the ornate venation,
of the human vine’s physiological wealth.
Where the anatomy of true scientific diversity,
walks through the theories, secreted in an alchemical night’s spell;
The emanations of the tall grass hissing,
recite nomenclature which so solemnly quells;
Like an Orbweaver Spider-Saint at noon, recalling the phylogenetic patterns,
of an ecological mind’s self.
The Prairie breaths a resonance of speciating diversity;
kept in time rhyming, with the hallucinations,
of a humanoid evolutionary history.
It hunts with an insectoidial mythology,
that was born about one’s thoughts amidst dividing leaves,
unveiling human souls;
While, the modes about which songbirds reproduce like distributed seed
and unified polymorphic terrains, are divining at the presence of,
orchestrally arranged, migrating nodes.
As a Redwinged Black Bird,
the Prairie defends its nest with wrathful vengeance.
For the mere thought of a human trespassing upon its scientific excellence,
is a gesture of inhumanity,
towards the nesting of an infinite existential resonance.
As a biologist,
the Prairie speaks itself into descriptions of biological relevance,
Identifying each bone, each plume, each cell,
like the emancipated body that is the temple of the naturalist;
The future of Earth’s eloquence,
the academic void, which teleports the modern consciousness;
Where permutes the Lepidopteran symmetries,
about cerebral elegance;
The frontal lobe of vegetation’s animal stem,
voraciously consuming, intellectual eminance.
The Prairie foments storms of human thought,
like Early May’s morphology;
Unveiling green charisma, as our psychological time,
continues to bloom the cerebellum’s studies,
with a memorized seasonal veracity.
Like a Massasaugua Rattlesnake,
who’s spirit once stared into the ambiance of Prairie din,
Each species remembers the light that exists,
when biological diversity breaths the greatest wind;
The most elegant air, and the most camouflaged verse,
to have inhaled the cycles of this terrain;
The most medicinal arosol, the most divine sentience of soil,
to have been emitted, with the cognitive seance,
that protects the visionary waters, of a good Prairie brain.
Yes, the Prairie is alive, hydrologically active,
and atmospherically famous, a true champion of the Earth’s aolian din stare;
This is probably why we writhe in its life and live in its force,
responding to its presence, as waveforms of water,
the echos of air;
The sway of a grassland, around the womb that is mothered,
gestating life’s growing cures,
Out of which, the human being, may always be uttering,
a composition for a Prairie that is fare, not accursed.
