A lone heron waits,
hieroglyph of peace carved
on zoetic dusk.

I do so admire your ability to create in such a unique manner. Just this evening, I saw a heron alongside the creek adjacent to our neighborhood...indeed he appeared hieroglyphic. Great image...wishing you a pleasant evening, Texas hugs, Sara
