SHINING GREY

Good morning...my darling... The day
is grey...
You are the brightest grey of the day... Here
you stand...as a proud sentinel... At the edge of
the pond...
You walk toward me...
Looking right at me...announcing your presence... This is as
it should be...
You...‘Great Blue Heron’...the only ‘spirit animal’...that could be mine... You are
staying longer and longer each time you visit...
You are the gift of this landscape... That is
our home...
You give your neck a Tai Chi stretch... Wait
patiently...
Catch a fish...
We breakfast together...
