Herons Waters

I saw a heron over concrete waters

searching for the undertow

caught broadside in the afterglow, 

 

his courage shone bright 

on this ceramic night,

his head shattering softly through

the watery light

 

from fierce instinct to plain intuition 

he’s finally set himself free

from the water he was christened,

 

flying high he collides with the

same sky that watched over

him from higher places,

with a savage trembling 

his heart races

 

hunter, fighter, creature

of such silent stance,

he flies alone, headlong,

seeking solace on 

the winds of chance
