Wetlands Poem by Chris Embrick

On the canvas of the wetland
Beyond the beaches, dunes of sand
Reflected clouds and summer sky
Over marsh grasses the osprey flies
Above this world untamed by man

In the oasis cypress grand
Their lofty perch the eagles man
Peruse the waters with keen eyes
Below life follows nature's plans

In this world of shifting sands
The shallows egrets, herons span
Turtles sun on logs to dry
On twigs and blade the dragonfly
Oh, the beauty of the wetlands
Life flows and follows nature's plans.
