Beauty from the Underworld
From the shadows, a world like no other,
a kingdom buried in emerald green forest
soil rich and damp, hiding from the sun,
lichens and fungi, mushrooms and moss
Wet woodlands give rise to colonies rich with life,
a masterpiece of colors and textures
waiting to share secrets, with you and I
beauty from the underworld.
