Florida Nature

tall trees with tongues of roots,sinew, ply their way into the river's bank, and deep the river, peace and sway, links the day to to the green wet night and in the dim mid-distance, where the water fades , a palate of gingamon moss lays and folds the sequinned lights into the quilt of coloured earth; all set for when the piercing wetlands sun, lie down it's wicker head to sleep true be this place to corporeal heaven, of path's lit way, a broad cacophony of colour, ready for the heron's sound, amid the prancing, rigid silver-bellied fish and to my Florida home, the state of beauty, hue and nuance; I give this day, this entreaty to the mighty sword, that carved my home this way. Inspired by the Robert Butler painting "Peace River"
