Auenland/ Water-Meadows/ Llanura De Inundación

Auenland beim Fluss
Wo Schilf und Bäume leben
Ergiesst sich Stille

Auf Wiesen legt sich Wasser sanft
Und schenkt der Erde neue Kraft

------------------------------------------

Water-meadows near the river
Where reeds and trees are living
Overflows silence

And water gently covers meadows
To give the soil powerful life

------------------------------------------

Llanuras cerca del río
Dónde viven cañaverales y árboles
Se vacía el silencio

Y agua suave echarse sobre praderas
Y da  nueva forza a la tierra

We have wetlands and marshes such as you describe so beautifully in your tanka, Gert. Development has been endangering these areas, but environmentalists are stepping forth to protect them. Lovely image you shared with us! Love, Carolyn
