Ballad of Marsh

The marsh is covered by sea of grass 
Wind blows on this grass
Forming ripples like ocean waves in their mass
All kinds of flowers red yellow blue orange violet each with beauty other tries to surpass

The fire by thunder on the prairie is lit
Even if burning grass emits smell that is sweet
The awe inspiring horror of fiery wall on the very soul has a grip that hell will befit
Red curtain of flame turns night to day in second’s split 

Yet after the fire new life will form
That will survive yet another storm
That is its norm
Life to fire will adapt and transform 

Further beyond the prairie huge oaks grow from where they were seeded
And hemp with field flowers their humming song have started
Like thunder transverses the sky separate nonlinearity perfection has stated
With its surreal scope whistling with the wind of wisdom it sings its enchanting ballad
