Standing Motionless
November 26, 2007 by espirit07
between misty trees
the mud yields to heron tracks
along the river’s bank
voices of wilderness,
as wise silent sentinels,
kiss the rich black earth
who soon are
scratching delicate
rituals in sacred waves
across nightly skies
hushed by soft colors
of turquoise blue and orange
dripping in stillness
while fishing in
supple and lithe moves
marked by the effortless grace
of their wide winged spread
standing motionless
waiting patiently to pluck
up their morning feed

This is beautiful, Genece, so peaceful. I remember when I was living in Northern California, watching the herons, a stately bird if ever there was one.

Very very peaceful, Genece.
“silent sentinels” what a beautiful description of such a handsome bird
Beautiful, again. I love Haiku, as well. Such a lovely mood.
