AN EKPHRASIS POEM FOR ERNEST BARRIAS


"Paying my Respects" by Shutter Pea is licensed under CC BY-NC-SA 2.0

Nature Unveiling Herself to Science


Nature Herself allowed the veil to fall,

Her porcelain form once again

revealing her divine stature.

A Mother to the lands with her arms outstretched,

Welcoming the simplest of creatures home:

Man, from their long exile

of logic and inhibition are now gazing.

Gazing at the molded form that is Nature.


For Nature, she shapes herself in the most

natural of forms.

Robes of Bronze and Onyx,

Uncovering and Exposing,

What hides in the earth herself?

Carved eyes of lapis stone,

Red lips shaped in coral bone.

A Scarab in her chest embedded,

A Mother’s right in divine intervention.

Man now reunites with the Nature,

For the lessons they will no longer forgot.
