A Season of Change
All through this season of change
Blue heron watches.
We have laughed at calling her
A “herring” when
What we really mean is
Heron.
She understands this,
When others don’t.
Just as she understands
Change
When others don’t.
She has become a comforting presence
In this disquieting time.
