the wandering heron

the wandering heron
came in to my life at just the time i needed him

the wandering heron
perched in my heart's home
so ethereal in stature and size
only his humble beauty silently demanding attention from the trees around him

the wandering heron
freeing my heart from the depth
allowing my soul to perch atop his wings and take flight once more

the wandering heron
knowing the answers to everything i might ask
knowing all my heart may need
knowing the strength of my soul

the wandering heron
watching over his wetland as a lion does his pride

alone, the wandering heron stands

the wandering heron
never fluttering in surprise
never straying from the confidence he holds in his chest
always silently taking flight in the direction he knows he must go

keep going
the wandering heron speaks to me
keep going and going and going
know the ends of your truth
seek what it is you already know within yourself as i already know within myself
take me with you where you go
wander the earth, wander your own backyard
know that your truth will be a pathless land
know that you will find joy in your heart every step of the way

the wandering heron
assuring me that everything my soul has ever breathed to my heart is true

the wandering heron
gracefully allowing me to touch my own freedom
forever

the wandering heron
showing me the flight of joy
for eternity
