In the waning days of the Summer season,  a heron waits.
A message will soon arrive, calling them to take a journey.
An adventure far beyond the horizon, and a new life.

On a shallow lake of dwindling waters, much will be revealed.
For those in the midst of change, longing for the past will cloud the mind.
What revelations appear in the new world where you find yourself?

Searching murky depths on this brightest of Autumn days.
Knowing not what may be found, if anything at all.
Sensing beneath the surface for Truth to be revealed.

Resting quietly atop slender green needles in the sky.
Waiting patiently for the warmth of the rising Sun at dawn.
Colours are revealed from once-darkened silhouettes, now alive.

Early morning Sunshine waking the world from last night’s slumber.
Admiring beings glide effortlessly to shores beyond.
How does one cross from the shore where one stands to the other shore?

Walk the edge of two worlds, see through clear reflections of a third.
Eternal elements obscure Truth from those that do not know.
Truth revealed to those who seek nothing but the present moment.

On a shallow sea of emerald green, life pauses a moment.
Thinking of deeds done yesterday and what will be done tomorrow.
What thoughts emerge in the present moment without thinking of You?

Standing tall in stature with a spirit reaching beyond the world.
Searching for the answer to a question not yet formed in the mind.
What message does the messenger bring and what does that mean to you?
