You Came

I never wanted to bring you here.
This godforsaken place of waste and decay.
To join this parasitic species we call humanity.
Eating its host from the inside out.
In the name of civilisation, progress and modernity.

But you came.
Like the flood that left behind a discombobulated mess of corpses and concrete.
This time though, a deluge of love with a pinch of salt.
You inspired me to help make our little speck on this planet better.
For you, for her.

Your path was never straight,
But it was never neglected.
And you flourished.
To transcend the infestation that marred our existence.
And grow with your friends in tow.

I never wanted to bring you here.
But you insisted.
And despite my most ardent objections.
You came.
You were stubborn, like the mangroves which found their roots.
You helped me find mine, in the wetlands of Yandina Creek.

And for that, I can rest in peace.
