It Is Quiet
And I stand among the trees listening,
to bird songs drifting when I notice a tall white Egret;
resting on one leg in the marsh, hesitant to put down both feet.
It's a lovely day with fluffy, white clouds dancing across a blue sky,
and the marsh is lush and verdant, with long-bladed grasses,
it is then, I hear the wail of baby birds.
The mother silently, quiets her babies,
and she steps into the shadows, blending into the cattails;
I ponder this siting and conclude it a harbinger of good tidings.
perhaps the beginning of a new endeavor, an idea to start anew,
the babies representing the birth of ideas, and trying and doing,
then I turn away, and wake in my bed.
