Elegy of Mind



In the earth's embrace, where waters flow,
Lies humble mud, where seeds bestow,
A cradle for life, where roots entwine,
In its earthly depths, secrets divine.

Beneath the sun's warm, nurturing gaze,
Mud transforms in nature's maze,
From mire to marvel, it molds and shapes,
A canvas for life, where beauty drapes.

In fields of green and forests grand,
Mud holds the essence of the land,
It whispers tales of ages past,
In its muddy embrace, memories last.

Though deemed lowly, in its rich array,
Mud births the dawn of each new day,
From its depths, life's wonders rise,
In mud's quiet grace, creation lies.
