Really wasn’t your faultthis fury that overcame –Words evoked onslaught,a raging river of pain. Didn’t mean to push you,miscalculated my aim,swimming in swamp watersnot a recommended game. You floundered, gurgled,cursed me by name –our love story, now viralbrought an alligator fame. (Image my own. Tale is totally fictional, I promise.)
A kidney stone, coupled with an infection has set me back five days – two trying to soldier through the pain, and three pursuing medical answers. Anyway, I’m on the mend, tired already of this foray into self-pity. Tomorrow, I keep telling myself, is a new day. (Image my own)

I can be still when watching a bird, for sure.🙂 Actually, I don’t mind doing nothing some of the time. It’s good.

I came face to face with a blue heron once. It allowed me to take its photo which I painted later and is on my site. It is a beautiful bird. Your rendition is wonderful!
