A Herons Pace

Ungainly, slow, he took his time Slowly flapping languid wings, The Heron now began to climb 'Twas though it was his final fling, He seemed to give it everything. Yet as the Heron began to soar It changed from toil to avian grace, No heaving struggle any more Elegant flight took it's place, Life, played at a Herons pace.
