When the dark skies bring your day down and you are unable to wake up to reality, reading this poem not only shows you the way up, it show you light, it frees you from the darkness.

Monika - please read these poems in another five years or so. Understanding often follows experience and the passage of time. Listen and watch for the egret waiting in you.

On the way home from the cabin I saw that the thirty or so egrets had left the reed pond for other climes. It is the sad beginning for fall for me. No more queenly plumes til spring !
