GREEN HERON
Green Heron 'round my woodland pond, your shy presence enlivens the verdant canopy. Avian friend we share the same space and time, what balance shall sustain your annual fulfillment? The pond creatures, shackled to their liquid pleasures, provide for you yet. Stygian whispers 'neath the dappled surface, condemn my procrustean touch. Green Heron 'round my woodland pond, your call arouses my natural awareness.
(C) David Reder 1994
