Treasures of nature
“The
Giant Crack”
(octopus)
Exhausted and starved, you blow what's left with all your might,
your last breath along your dearly loved fruit.
A burst of water leaves your body and it's your very last
vivacity.
As a very “dedicated mother”, you have absolutely everything
given.
Yes, with an enormous dedication, even to death, that's how you gave your life.
For more than six months, you knew how to protect your offspring very much
tending.
100,000 eggs were in your 'arms' so
lovingly secured.
Day and night, you were constantly busy.
You cleaned the eggs carefully, time after time.
Eating or sleeping, no, you didn't have time for that.
Your day job came first and you slowly lost your life.
Algae tried hard and hard to grow your offspring
inhibiting.
They managed to latch on to the eggs regularly.
You didn't give them a chance!
With your continuous caress full of
love,
did you know how to defeat this enemy.
The eggs remained protected, their growth could continue undisturbed.
In between fighting, you made time to add fresh water
wearing.
Fresh water, full of oxygen to please your offspring.
Slowly, your own weight starts to decline
For six months; no eating, just drinking.
What dedication, but also the precision of the time, leaves the
speak imagination.
In just over six months, you have never left the nest.
And then, just as the first eggs start to crack,
you blow a burst of water with your last force and thus open them
doors.
They break out, one by one and they swim to the surface to
plankton to eat.
You slowly close your eyes: “Did they know about your commitment?”
You died in your children's crib, you died at the foot of
their fledgling existence.
You never got to see them and as a “devoted mother”, so are you
gone.
With an 'inexplicable'
precision, did you finally complete your task exhausted and starved.
Upon seeing their first light of life, your last and longest began
night.
