gentle swaying fronds
rustling secrets of the breeze
palm’s eye on the world
gentle swaying fronds
rustling secrets of the breeze
palm’s eye on the world
against a brilliant
sunset in the everglades
a blue heron rests
the color of your
love, like sundown’s beautiful
light, sunshine and bliss
soft wings and wild things
pause in silent wonder at
the sky’s stunning fire
one great egret stands
among a crowd of wee birds
peering marsh water
early morning blue
sky’s wispy breaths of fresh air
lingers on the pond
calm before the storm
along the marsh and tall grass
stillness has no name
bronze sunset begins
water ripples grow and fade
wings silently sleep
the katydids’ sing
among swaying seas of grass
as i walk their path
