Biosemiosis

 
in nature there is a poem unwritten  
conversation had through root systems  
about the nature of itself, smitten  
with all of life’s pulsing rhythms  
 
the psalm of melodious birdsong  
or show of a soulmate dancing along  
life as we know it witnesses, each dawn  
what is unspoken from mother to fawn  
 
lives entangled together in chaos  
words woven upon a bed of damp moss  
poetry, a hymn among woodland gods  
from forest river to mountain tops  
 
from sun-kissed fields lit up bright  
to the dark depths of ocean’s dive  
the song of heaven’s miraculous life
 
this poem unwritten is nature, divine

Author's Note
[to my briefly-researched understanding] …

biosemiosis is the way things are communicated or indicated in both flora and fauna with the world in and around themselves

[without the use of spoken or written word]

ex: bird calls and their different meanings, biometric indicators that tell a plant to initiate photosynthesis, the dance of a potential mate in Spring, the vast complex of communication through root systems from plant to plant, etc.
