Lifting Towards The Sky
Will you look up
Into the grey sky
In time
And see
The heron’s long body
Wings outstretched
Flying
Above trees
Wet
With new growth?
Another morning
Opens with song
The babies are hungry
Rain drips down
Darkening trunks of trees
Unfurling green leaves
Lifting towards the sky
Where you look
And see
Another heron flying by.
