GREAT BLUE HERON
Poised and waiting,
Powerful, majestic,
Fearful, courageous,
as the ocean roars,
and the evening settles into darkness.
What is the call being heard,
by this creature of winged presence,
she moves as she listens,
gathering herself in becoming,
as the darkness becomes the night.
I ready myself,
as a witness to mystery,
as she surveys the beach,
with deep eyes , on alert.
Each moment is crucial,
as she receives promptings and positioning,
she hesitates, monitors her fears,
as they guide her, life is new, always,
I watch this closely,
as she stretches to survive,
she becomes a friend by looking for one,
I imagine myself in school,
I raise my hand to ask a question,
she decides to leave,
I wanted to ask,
Had she been touched by God,
she left behind the answer,
in her gracefulness .
I am speechless.
