Her sinuous neck silhouettes
against the evening sky
as she progresses with determination
towards the waters of self reflection
Her reflection silent and unmoving,
stares calmly back at her.
What does she see? – past conflicts and ruffled feathers
but bids a peaceful, and proud independence
She evaluates her state
with a contemplative mind
determines her self and spiritual worth
eliminating all distractions of earthly life
The great blue heron has flown into the sun
her choice of flight inscribed on her heart
she wings her way to her realm of election
and there finds peace within her love
