A heron lifts in the last light of day...
scrapes the ground, then dips -
 
black-cloaked, then it is away;
bound for the bottomless oceans
 
of the heavens, where stars –
like sea-anemones, blossom
 
for some or other god to pick
and pin in an angel’s hair.

This poem is short yet you create an image which could have easily been told in 1000 words, great concise language, but poignant as ever! Love it!
