Where the Ground Holds
For International Wetlands Day
This Wetlands Day, we offer a little gratitude for a place we seldom want to visit purposefully because of the inherent mud and mess.
But it's an indispensable ecosystem that sustains when unnoticed.
So today, we thank those among us who do - without being seen.
Gratitude for what absorbs, holds, and remains.

Land
Soaked soil
Humble and unseen
Soaks in morning mist
Quiet
🌱🌫️🦜
Leaves
Simple sprouts
Bird pecks grass
Its chirping whispers his
Thanks.
