I found a pupa by the stream [POETRY AND ART]

in #poetry5 years ago (edited)

A chrysalis unfurls in dreams a thousand times before it lives the scene.

I found a pupa by the stream.

It was larger than a garbage can lid, and pulsating yellow bubbles moved inside.

I built a shrine of river stones and to each rock I sang a tone while placing it.

I sang a tone to vibrate and reverberate and rehydrate that which once was full of life but now is parched.

That which once hatched may hatch again.

a crack
a split
a second chance
and an agonizing journey in between - one form lies dead and discarded and another form is still unfurling.

this is breathtakingly lovely! the colors and shapes are like sea stones, embedded into mosaic walkways with a thousand nippled walls to suckle on.

Couldn't have said it better myself!

Love those colors, Carl! <3

It looks so beautiful and strange 😊 What is the original photo? A tree bark?

This is a burl on a dead tree stump. I think it was a maple tree.

It looks so interesting, nature is the finest artist😊
