Driftwood

On a tranquil tropical island, 
A heron stands tall and poised, 
With grace it speaks of independence, 
each step deliberate on the golden sand, 
self-reliant in its solitude, 
a symbol of strength and inner peace. 
Not far away, a piece of driftwood lies, 
weathered and worn by countless tides, 
shaped by the ebb and flow of the sea, 
a metaphor to life’s journey, 
embracing the relentless push of the universe.
Together they inhabit this paradise, 
the egret’s steady presence 
reflecting a newfound freedom, 
while the driftwood whispers tales 
of surrender and resilience. 
Here, on this island of dreams, 
independence dances with the flow, 
and life unfolds in rich tropical warmth, 
each moment a chance to embrace life, 
emerging from the depths of change, 
into a wonderful new beginning.
