sentry-like
great blue heron
Heron
sky spotted white
the morning alive
with gusts of early summer
bulrushes along the shore
squawks of geese
ferrying the fledged
a lone heron stands
sentry-like
she stretches forward
then slowly retracts
folding herself
neatly
a moving
toward
suspension
beneath a wing
not even the sputter & roar
of seaplanes along the river
is allowed entry
in this peace of hers
Powerful, sparse depiction of peace!
Wow. Gorgeous.
