The great sylvan lungs of this world

Breathe in

Toxin gathers in its vacuoles

Repurposed for sustenance

Ingesting carbon dioxide

Within its breast

Processing the poison through photosynthesis

Feasting on the chemical energy

The great sylvan lungs of this world

Verdant alveolus diaspora

Releasing air

Botanical byproduct, the essence of life

For the faunal kingdom

The kingdom of flesh

Converting it again

To sustain the Verdant Realm

Symbiosis

A toxin from one the other feeds

Cycling and recycling

Oxygen

The great sylvan lungs of this world

Breathe in, breathe out

Verdant alveolus diaspora

To the flora and the faun
