Create-of Day 10

Moonlit Heron

often it is the waves that murmur,
that splash against the rocks-

the time that shows through
soil and erosion.

the bird that stands upon that shore
it waits for prey to kill-

with long neck, bill, and graceful legs
shine in irridescent moonlight.

the lapping of the waves,
skipping the light from place to place,
illuminate my little friend.

Though it's dark, I see
the desire in her eyes-

that make me wish
that we could fly-

together to the moon.
