Cavities (a poem)
CAVITIES I remember the day I learned sugar can cause cavitiesI was one of those kids who used to sneak tastes of raw sugar out of the pantryI would eat…
Step into the enigmatic embrace of nature in its most mysterious forms in our dedicated nature category. Here, we traverse the shadowy trails where moss blankets ancient stones in lush, velvety layers, and the delicate slime trails of gastropods like snails and slugs become intricate paths leading to hidden realms. Be fascinated by the world of mushrooms, with their myriad shapes, colors, and secrets waiting to be unveiled.
The atmosphere is heavy with the ethereal beauty of mist, transforming familiar landscapes into realms of wonder and ambiguity. Raindrops act as nature’s filter, enhancing the vibrancy of every hue, making the scarlet and amber of fall leaves seem almost surreal in their intensity. These droplets, whether in a drizzle or a downpour, create an auditory tapestry.
This section aims to highlight the often-overlooked and enigmatic facets of nature. The moments just before twilight when shadows grow longer, the haunting silence of a fog-laden dawn, or the bewitching patterns of dew on a spider’s web. Our exploration is not just a visual or sensory journey but also a philosophical one, probing the deeper meanings and connections that bind us to the natural world.
For those who find solace in the quiet corners of the forest, or wonder in the small, often unnoticed dwellers of our world, this nature category is an ode to the beautifully eerie and endlessly mesmerizing aspects of the world around us.
