MANGROVES

Mangled, mysterious

You stand alone

Facing the swells of the sea

Gnarled roots and branches

Speak of stories untold.

Not dainty in form

Yet a beautiful life giver

Breathing out sustainence for all

And with each passing tide

You will continue to be

Sinking your roots even deeper.

On a still dark night

You silently shine your light

Down on shimmering waters

Your silver beams

Creating reflections that gleam

Like gold and silver strings upon the sea

Beauty of the night

You bring light

Into darkness

Making it bearable

As we gaze into

Your serene cool countenance

How the Gentle breeze

Helps moon beams create

Amazing patterns of artistry

As you dance upon

Your watery canvas

You leave us enraptured

Staring into the distance

Quietly taking it all in.
