Not Clear
The view is not clear.
There is an obstruction.
The details are obscured.
Will I ever see the whole picture again?

Find A Perch
Find a Perch
A place to sit.
If it has a little height,
the view will be better.
Take in all you can.
You'll see that beauty resides
right before your eyes.

Stillness is Important
Stillness is Important
The heron picks a place.
Looks at a particular space.
Stands still.
Makes a slow turn of the head.
Stands still.
Stretches its neck.
Stands still.
Bends down then straightens up.
Stands still.
One quick strike ends the stillness.

The Sun and The Lake
The Sun and the
They collaborate!
The lake is a pseudo-canvas.
The sun lays down a blue sky.
Adds a layer of white clouds.
Ends with a group of trees.
The lake adds a few wiggles.
Each scene is available for a limited time.
But, new ones appear day-to-day.

Watch Yourself Fly
You had the
courage to start.
Put in the work.
Survive the storms.
Now, it's time to
watch yourself fly.
