I gaze with admiration
upon your natural beauty
a creature of water
earth
& air
pausing in twilight hours
reflections of liminality
that space between
here & there
one foot on land
& the other in water
point of transition
and I wonder can I cross
that threshold with you...
I watch you in stillness
blending with green fronds
standing in the shallow end
times seems to stand still
in solitude unraveling
mysteries through meditation
you carry messages of wisdom
be patience in the journey
and I wonder how many marshes
must I wade through in life...
you sense my presence
yet, allow me this moment
as you might speak to my heart
guiding me to new understanding
in humility, I silently give thanks
for the gift of true friendship
within your wings I find comfort
air suddenly shifts, you take flight
and I wonder am I ready to fly
to soar unknown heights...
gliding over silver waters
I hear your mystical song
ripples of energy fill the air
and I realize time is "now"
