Feathered Freedom

there, 
cottage of my old, carefree childhood,

softly 
awash in moist morning sunlight,

nestled 
beneath swaying, shiny palm trees;

yonder, 
knee-deep in flowing, verdant grass,

my black 
water buffalo roams at will,

leisurely 
feeds on freedom while on its back

a delicate, 
white egret slow-dances,

its feathers 
the mountain breeze romances!
