If he runs away
In the slightest noise,
It is a question of survival,
All the senses on the alert,
His eye drinks,
He shivers,
He watches for the enemy,
It is me, it is you,
It is the incomestible,
It is the fear,
He learns in the sky,
In the reflection of the river,
He opens the beak,
Here he is reassured,
The wave smiles to him,
Without competition,
The quiet morning
Belongs to the grey heron,
His plumage sparkles,
Never tamed.
