The Visitor

Posted on December 19, 2014 by Mona

An egret stood poised on my front lawn silent, watching.

I turned and it was gone,

the air unchanged and still.

What did it see in my garden, in me?

Was I welcoming, was I accepting?

But then, who was the visitor, who was the native?

Maybe she was welcoming me.
