The world slows but the shadow of Heron, blended into amethyst sky
My heartbeat rests within the throes of grace, upon the stilling sigh
Like spring each nerve unwinding…shedding tension into sandy ridge
The Lake remarks, withdrawn the touch of shore its frosted fridge
Ah, but sun so warm pours forth upon the sanity of change
Forest coveting the last of snows to drink in spells so strange
That promise the awakening of all intention just created
Old and new seem one to stretch and yawn anticipated
Look up, for there begins the real story weeping into view
The wing beat and the call announce a time of something new
The oldest souls stir now in vehemence and verve
Spread out to harbor song and soothe of every jangled nerve
The world slows up so peacefully a different drum beats clear
And welcomed into this enchanted time, we are included here

I remember Michigan...
and I remember moments just like this...
you have a gift.

Use it...
to share with the world
your charms.

Magnificent!

lovely feel to this, vivid visions throughout...in the 2nd line, though, I think you want "throes" instead of "throws"

Whether on the shoal or on the shore,
I'll seek the lighthouse evermore.
