An Autumn Moment

An Autumn Moment


I sat with the heron today
He was not far away
He was intent on his next meal
Starring into the rushing water

And the wind rustling through the tree
My thoughts escorted to the ground with each brilliant
Colour rich leaf

Surrendering to invisible forces
The sun and clouds disputed for the sky
Warmth and cold
Were mine today

And the snake motionless on the footpath
He too
Was cold

Timelessly waiting for the clouds to yield
The Sun’s heat and claim to the sky

More sustaining than food

The heron intent on his next meal
The serpent the autumn's Sun
Me with my thoughts
Sat there on the ground

[monkey boy]

any day with herons and serpents is a good day. you've slowed down
time to a crawl for one of those few and precious days...

beautiful. I love:

"I sat with the heron today
He was not far away"

what an awesome thought. I used to have a good size pond in my backyard. I would see herons there all the time. Thanks for bringing back some memories.
