Cryptobiology - SOS call of Planet Earth, our only ship in space.

Cryptobiology 
SOS call of Planet Earth, our only ship in space

Driftwood resembling a beast with "living and pleading eye". 
Collection of the Living with Nature 

The eye, the eye!
Hauntingly it stares
at whoever cut this tree
to repent and cry. - avr

 
Kissing trees - counterpart of the mythical kissing rocks.
Old tree lying on its own tombstone.

"Kiss in a lifetime seals love even in the afterlife." - avr

 "A happy life is never senile.  Trees grow old with grace." - avr

 
Tree figures resembling human passion.  Trees also have feelings.

"When, in disgrace with fortune and men’s eyes,
      I all alone beweep my outcast state,
 And trouble deaf heaven with my bootless cries,
      And look upon myself and curse my fate."
        
       - William Shakespeare, Sonnet 29 

  
 
Trees may be weird looking, but actually tame and kind.

"Who's Afraid of the Big Bad Wolf?"* 
Trees have stories to tell.  
They also sing, laugh and cry,
  and often leave us a spell. - avr

*1933 Disney cartoon "Three Little Pigs". The pigs sing the song to taunt the wolf, suggesting they are not scared of him. However, the wolf is still a threat as he tries to enter their houses, highlighting the fear the pigs initially feel. The song's popularity during the Great Depression is also notable, as it became a symbol of defiance against hard times, Wikipedia.

 
Evolution and extinction - periodicity beyond our senses.

"Darwinian and Lamarckian:
evolution through adaptation,
it's counterpart, law of disuse,
taking place at the same time
         beyond, in sweet chime." - avr 
  
 
 
These trees resemble appendages or limbs reminiscent of transience, 
unity, and agility of living things as key to their survival and well-being. 

"Limbs are tools for peace, security, 
access and mobility, 
limbs of the law, limbs of the sea*, 
   and limbs of the tree."- avr

 Limbs of the sea refer to rivers and bays.

  
Endangered Rhinoceros; extinct Dodo bird*

"Extinct, in past and future tenses,
fossils, artefacts, archives,
the dead and the living, the latter
facing doom altogether." - avr

* The Dodo is a lesson about extinction. Found by Dutch soldiers around 1600 on an island in the Indian Ocean, the Dodo became extinct less than 80 years later because of deforestation, hunting, and destruction of their nests by animals brought to the island by the Dutch. 

Cryptobiology - Cryptids are creatures whose existence is debated or unproven, often found in folklore and popular culture. They are the subject of fascination and speculation, and quotes about them often reflect themes of mystery, the unknown, and the allure of the unexplained.  AI Overview
