By placid blue-green waters A snow-white heron stands. His silhouette against the sun-- His shadow on the sands. And wafted on a quiet breeze, That sweeps the summer by, A lone white feather flutters Like the whisper of a sigh! When the dusk bedims his outline And heralds the coming night, He will scatter his dreams about him And spread his wings in flight. |

Wow, Rex: This is one exquisite poem, perfect in rhyme and form. It flows like the subject in flight. You are so very gifted! Ellie Summers haunting melody that awakens the butterflies, calling them to join the dance in their silent song of praise to God. ellie LeJeune |

I've been a witness to this scene a thousand times, and must say that you have captured almost all of what I felt in a few words. Sweet. Thanks |
