Poem Artwork

To what shall I
Liken this world:
The shine of stars
Is out in full force,
The pale moonlight
Glittered in the pond
In the middle of which
A heron prinks, standing
On one leg amid croaking,
Buzzing, humming, teeming. . .

A moment in time beautifully captured. Appreciated!

the juxtaposition of all that surrounds the attentive heron speaks volumes of the richness of life's sensory stimulation. If only more of our own species would stand on one leg and allow... just allow.

Ahhh . . . Life abounds around us. Scenes of survival everywhere if we only would look for it.

Seems like a koan, short, succinct, and to the point, painting an image that is meaningful and profound. The contract between the one-legged sage and the buzzing, humming, teeming is exquisite.

What does "prinks" mean?
