Child of Seed

Mother, how could you? You’ve spoken to this recalcitrant child of seed, creating beauty in my malformed pulp through your tantrum of destruction; but this hurts me – leaves me a damaged husk straining to survive. Is this your intent? Am I to twist and writhe until all that once flourished is a tangled mass of malcontent? Mother… how could you?

  Thank you, Joe! I’m very taken with natural elements conversing amongst themselves… with assigning roles to each and dissecting the interaction of what I suppose their ‘thoughts’ or ‘feelings’ toward each other would be. That makes perfect sense in my head, I hope it makes sense when typed as well. lol 😀

The title, words and photo intertwine (no pun intended) perfectly … and piercingly, too.

  Thank you for saying so… Dialogue between the all encompassing ‘Mother’ nature and the reality of free-form growth or destruction in nature is a small vice of mine. As a photographer, I see a great deal of ‘punishment’ handed out to things of nature by nature itself. The picture, in this case, inspired the short prose. 🙂
