The Mycelium Earth
In earthen times future, the planet became something else,
Skies were full of tall trees, larger than ancient redwoods,
Through canopies of trees, crystal lights blink through rivers
.....
Shimmering fungus glowing, heavenly soft tone colours,
Parasitic fungus, around the earth everywhere,
Locked around vegetation, even in grasslands and green hills
.....
The skies seem different to, textured like an oil painting,
Fungus dust shines like stars, specks of diamonds in the skies,
Like fireflies that shine, like appearing and vanishing embers,
.....
The fungus grew patterns, in symbiotic connections,
Smooth and graceful like artwork, forging tattoos of nature,
Tribes and clans soon arose, from the differences in design,
.....
Though unity arose, since the fungus commanded it,
Though many centuries, humans did try to kill all fungi,
But every living thing, was graced with fine fungus dust,
This is what they called it, like pigments, it dispersed, thrived,
.....
Creating paintings of life, there was no stopping it ever,
Nature finally won, and sought its vengeance quick and fast,
Restored was the dark peat, the sponges of the earth firm,
Shimmering wildlife, and life descended across the earth's expanse,
.....
Infinite spores now fly, from every living thing on earth,
The fungus is now bound, tied into all DNA,
Within cellular depths, more than a virus can ever be,
Humans soon discovered, hive communication, globally,
There was no turning back, diamond silhouettes lifted life,
.....
Across hills and mountains, into deep valleys and woodland,
Into ebbing waters, through lime green wetlands and streams,
In all ecosystems, through the deep depths of deep dark oceans,
Into every city, all the towns of the human race,
.....
Synchronising nature, bringing it into balance,
The hosts changed human depths, influencing their cognition,
Human action changed to, for the benefit of nature,
.....
All concrete building stopped, technology changed completely,
Humans migrated back, to the heart...
Skies were full of tall trees, larger than ancient redwoods,
Through canopies of trees, crystal lights blink through rivers
