Theme: Poetry that will be released as audio with the theme of: All Flowers Keep The Light

In our world, nature and artifice blur, balancing us between oblivion and salvation.
🌐 Virtual habitats. 🌱 Immortal pets. 🌳 Bionic babies. 🤖 Unwind as an insect in the Metaverse 👨‍💻 Or sow microchips like flowers. 🌺 AI. Cloning. Genetic engineering.
🌸 Nature has many new faces. 🌸
​Plant stories that embrace nature’s paradox; poems and music that dance between artifice and authenticity. Show us how our existence is intertwined with nature’s complexities in this
bold new world.
