Ode to a swamp

A song that sings within me

Walking along the shoreline

Or paddling gingerly through the waters

The boughs of Your cypress

Dressed in Spanish moss

Wrap me in protection

Offering contrast for my eyes

Prickled with attentive searching for brother and sister lifeforms

There!

The alligator

Architect of habitat for all

There!

The heron

Keeper of the balances

There!

The anhinga

Pointing my way

There!

The dance of the sandhill cranes

Dance Of The Cranes — Elie Wolf

There!

Lord Shiva appears as a turtle in a yogic balance upon a rock

Here my soul is peacefully on fire

Here is my renewal

My sustenance

My resting place

Ode to a swamp

A song that sings within me
