LAND
They drift in from far distant land.
Many species… of weeds and trees.
Some turn out to be very grand.
Many snakes… slits in driftwood squeeze.
None needed, help from friendly hands.
Most don’t survive the foreign land.
Too cold… too warm… their lives will end.
The climate good… form fresh new brands.
In all niches… nooks and crannies blend.
None needed, help from friendly hands.
Sand similar as their old land.
Come spring if they all made it through,
will breed… their future safe… so grand.
New generations life anew.
None needed, help from friendly hands
Season of peril in new land.
Wintertime most will die… perish
Seeds germinate… snakes breed… how grand
Fauna… flora… new land cherish
None needed, help from friendly hands
