       Flight of the Heron

Ancient Autumn oaks march
along the brown-crisp ridge,
(toward the vanishing point
   of Time)
trailing frosty ribbons of
  smoke and mist
through the calm-bright dawn.
A lone Heron leads the way
  into Winter.

You capture the scene almost like a haiku. I like it.

There is something noble about the heron's profile. Thanks for bringing the crisp smell of autumn into my computer room.
