in the morning light
wings paint the edge of heaven
then become the sky
loyal as a harbinger of spring
quietly waiting to welcome your light.
in the mountains of prescott, arizona
spring
arrives the day the blue heron return to the ponds outside.
the way it is not truly friday
until you appear
dressed in your morning haiku.

The many times you and I are in confluence is gratifying. For instance we both are thinking of shorelines today :)

Waiting patiently for Spring. Good to see the giant wings enjoying the fresh clean air.

How wonderful! To be borne on the wings of a bird to the edge of heaven! I too found a glimpse of the holy in a bird this week. His song took me there! Thank you for sharing your stunning blue heron and his flight to joy!

That is truly beautiful Rebecca. Both the heron and your words. Last season I watched the very first ever great blue heron nest cam put up by the ornithology lab at Cornell University. The heron couple hatched five ... yes FIVE! ... beautiful babies. It was a wonderful thing to watch. This year, now that the snow has melted on their pond, the couple has returned to the nest and hopefully will begin another family. It was awesome, as is your post. Isn't Mother Nature grand? God bless you Rebecca, for the spiritual understanding you have of these wonderful things. xo
