Silent desolation

In nature’s quiet, we hear our own undoing
Through fractal patterns, life's beauty unfolds,
in chaos and order, its story
retold
Man's hands unfurl, destruction's seeds they sow
in fervent haste, earth’s fragile bonds they throw
In ignorance, we pave a perilous path,
our blindness engulfs her fragile aftermath
Forgetting nature's laws, in blindness,
we erode
from verdant majesty, our apathy corrodes
The rivers, once veins,
now choked with despair
flow like tear-streaked cheeks,
stripped bare
Forests, once a canopy like shattered glass
a mosaic of silence, in their emptiness, they amass
The carbon dance, a labyrinthine play,
in this intricate web, the world's debt may lay
but in her silence, we hear our own undoing
