“If I were a landscape,
I would be swamp”,
Said someone to me…
Not me!
I would be a meadow…

I would cherish all flowers,
welcome pollinators,
greet sunrise with the veil
of a gentle fog,
setting a dew upon wild herbs.

The Earth needs a swamp
as much as a meadow,
trees, ice caps, jet streams,
species big, small, invisible,
it’s so complicated…

We can see how unique
is every creature in existence.
Yet with all this experience,
the only must is coexistence,
in peace, not pointless critique!

It’s not up to any of us
who, or what is better,
spare time, stop fighting,
none will last, it’ll all
evaporate to cosmic nothing.

Other material worlds
will create something
from that cosmic nothing,
hence I resolve to aim
enjoying who I am, today.

If I weren’t a Human,
I would be a meadow…
