Marsh Life
By John Grey
Reeds thrust up
in anticipation
of growing ever skyward.
For there’s a yearning
to stretch higher
and, in the surrounding foliage,
to deepen ever greener.
Over the treetops,
a small crop of clouds
cannot hold,
breaks free of itself,
then of itself again.
A few dead leaves,
an acorn,
are slowly tapped by soil.
Even where there’s nothing yet,
there is everything to come.
