Leap of Faith
It is always empowering to see a heron launch itself into the air with seemingly little effort. For a bird that looks almost prehistoric, its moves are very graceful and ballerina like, the heron's grey feathers shimmy around its body like a floaty chiffon wrap. The Norfolk Broads has many fine examples of herons, they are often found standing still as statues along the river banks with watchful eyes, ready to take flight in an instance.

How do you fly with spindly legs
dangling like wooden pegs
and then land with such ease
on bendy knees beneath the trees
I marvel at your leap of faith
into the sky with such grace
To be so bold and
change the view
I wish I could leap like you.
