King Egret Keeps Watch

King egret keeps watch Over the falls of the forest Watching his kingdom with a prophet’s eye Surveying diamonds on the moving water The river’s rapids are dancing this morning Bringing their cool music to the forest’s ears King egret’s feathers are enduring a bit of the splashes He glides a bit higher, feeling the sun on his back. He soars over his kingdom, Feeling a confident pride, Understanding that this is his today, right this second Taking no other seconds for granted.
