Herons

Charles deGuire Christoph

From “Reflections”

MANY, many herons

Fly across the sky,—

Sky full of my thoughts.

They are moving among my thoughts,—

Many V-shaped birds

Like boats for my thoughts to sail in.

Many, many heroes

Fly with the herons—

Men and ladies among the stars,

Poets and lovers I know;

Many swift heroes

Humming like words for a poem.
