Bountiful and lush, an array of colours to delight the senses

Beast of every kind by sea, land and air inhabits every corner

awe-inspiring and precious they serve heavenly purpose

One given dominion over the rest – filled with intelligence, flaw and wonder

but is the most dangerous that decimates terra-firma to its foundations

Now nurturing Mother of hue grows angry and weary

With companion orb in tow, she sheds Herself of the mongrel waste and begins a journey anew

Adiuva me verterem figuram mundi
