"His Silence Speaks"

Southern Vancouver Island

His Silence Speaks
~ Lori Colbo

Morning is hush,
the tide is out,
a slight haze hovers over the water.
A Great Blue Heron wades
in the shallows of the bay,
strong, stoic, still.
He keeps vigil over the mountain
in the distance like a sentry on watch.
A keening gull circles scouting breakfast.
The Heron remains motionless, contemplative;
His silence speaks.
The noisy gull now understands
the morning is sacrosanct
due its honor because of its splendor.
But he is impatient and flies away.
An hour has passed,
The Heron remains in place
basking in the warmth of the sun.
His silence speaks
"O blessed morn,'"
then it is time.
He lifts off into the air,
his majestic wings
flap in slow motion.
He takes his time
for the morning is still sacred,
and he must not disturb it,
For it belongs to the Lord
whose silence speaks.
