Stroma Lyrics


Sub organelle stacks

Chloroplast edifice

Like a tower of disks

Of thylakoid daughter cells

Processing the power of the Sun

Fungal tissue mass

Structures bearing spores

Dotting the surface

Awaiting (their chemical charge)

Herein lies the origin of photosynthesis

Buried in the chloroplast

Colorless fluid

Dark reaction

Independent of light

Botanical alchemy

Photoreceptors absorbing light

CO2 and H2O synthesis

Into organic clusters of molecules they transform

Captor of light surrounding the grana

Enzymatic process of carbon melange
