The Heron

Stalking so
slowly through swiftly
flowing stream.
Standing still
as stone. Striking suddenly,
swallowing swimmers.

•

Sanctuary

Birds of all sizes,
from hummingbirds to heron,
foraging for food
outside my office window
distracting me from my work.

•

Seasons

In summer, a path,
hardened by footsteps
of those exploring
brown swaths of open
space between buildings.

In autumn, a creek
trickling through greening
forage for geese and nutria,
a playground for dogs
from the neighborhood.

In winter swirling
waters flooding
the encompassing
verdancy, beckon
herons and egrets.

In spring, wandering
through a lush songbird
paradise amid
flowering trees with
ducks paddling downstream.
