I look out over the marsh daily

people ask me what I see

I could list the many images

but thats not the whole story

I am learning not just to,

observe but to see 

listen but to hear

sense but to feel

learn but to discover

I see,

water sometimes calm and other times raging

the sky and the clouds it carries aloft

grasses and shrubs thriving

many animals roaming resting feeding

I hear, 

birds singing

frogs croaking

wind rustling

water splashing

I feel, 

tranquil

calm 

serene

content 

I discover,

new things in the marsh daily

the marsh has both simplicity and complexity

my ability to bond with nature

who I am
