Queen Tree

in art •  7 years ago  (edited)

When the resources ran out, and the people moved on, nature reclaimed what was hers.

Queen Tree

She uncurled her branches and stretched her arms to the sky

Then summoned a storm and called out to the behemoths.

They stomped and crushed the metal destroyers as they made their way across the land.

She reached to the ground and pushed her fingers down through the soil

Sending a message to every plant.

''Push up the concrete, the roads, the paving slabs with your roots and your seedlings

Make green the sharp corners of these grey cold trees.

Reclaim what was stolen and bring back my green land''.

                    Always love your cyanotypes. Sharp colors and edges contrast so well with nature pics.

                    The subject matter had an interesting silhouette so the cyanotype was a good medium for it. Thank you @realcodysimon
