Water falls into a lake, backdrop seen through alders heard through rustle of leaves, leaves haloed in white. My approach expands the whiteness in circles towards me, crossing the lake. Sad that the distance and instinct combine to conjure the fancy: soap suds pollutants only nearer to find a mix nearly perfect of water unsullied with lightness of air support for two rare mini-beasts and one water weed. * All genetic programs ticking satisfactorily, they cover themselves in glory - and metal oxides - changing from benign virus into living wire, predestined to arrange themselves in patterns laid by man called batteries. They pack a punch, sparks bright enough to replace petrol on all roads of this town reborn tomorrow - when all our cities will be lit (maybe) by living things like Vibrio phosphorium - or cum grano salis, as you might say - sparkling bacteria clinging to the outside walls of buildings growing there - and every roof as white as that pure water in the lake.

Natural light in an unpolluted world - how wonderful that would be.
really wonderful. We really do need to rethink everything and find wise to use nature in a more balanced relationship before Mother Earth decides to once and for all kick man's behind.
Sparkling bacteria and pure water. Inspiring observations here.
David, so glad to discover your blog. My undergrad studies were in science (nursing) and I love the blend of science and art in creative expression. Truly, nature inspires. These are wonderful--going back for another read.
I reckon it will be a very long time before man can change our planet into Utopia where nature and man work in harmony :-).
Love the ending, Dave. If only it would be!

Sounds too good to be true, doesn't it? But it is being seriously investigated.

Yes, well said. I think we might even get kicked innto touch if we don't watch out.
