Waiting
Standing on a leg
A heron on the shore
Far at the horizon
Sun hanging at low
Both calm and still
Watching the waves
Of the peaking high tide
One waiting for hint of prey
Other waiting
For the end of day
We all are waiting
Though we may not show
Restless anxious
Detached or drained
For some spark
In the hard pressed snow
Of our staid lives
