Where Trees Grow Upside-Down
Beyond the event horizon, where Light has given way to Nothingness—there exists worlds where the rules of reality are bent. Worlds where trees grow downward from the skys. Bejeweled canopies hovering mere heartbeats above the ground. Their jigsaw roots pierce through the atmosphere, growing far past the generated breath of leaves. Ancient stories tangle together, gnarls meandering until it is near impossible to distinguish a singular growth. Try to identify the original root. Through this web, stars still shine, new births searching for gaps among the skeleton reach, while those whose bodies have long since belonged to antiquity continue their concentric dance through rings of growth. Trees bioluminescent upside-down grow.

(written out in red “destruction” is capitalized hand too close to flame) After Destruction (“life” is colored green the warm touch of gentle Spring softest blooming leaves) Life persists against all odds Imagine it now

Beyond comprehension whole realities exist Summoned into being by minds searching for Hope Wonder at limitless possibilities which dare persist The encroaching darkness you must resist Calamities of life are measured on silver chronoscope Beyond comprehension whole realities exist Recall how tree roots intertwist Witness rings of growth beneath a microscope Wonder at limitless possibilities which dare persist Take heart in becoming a fantasist Alongside forests Old—new growth happens on an upward slope Beyond comprehension whole realities exist Stand against Fear—be unafraid of mist Grasp tightly onto your mooring rope Wonder at limitless possibilities which dare persist Feel my hand upon your wrist Exalt in skys seen through telescope Beyond comprehension whole realities exist Wonder at limitless possibilities which dare persist.
The imagery in this is so vivid and gorgeous - it really transports you to a time and place that feels distinctive and yet so familiar! :S
