Simple Magic 

Simple Magic, this moment, I can hear the marsh weep
for its lost Egrets; that haunting quietude, a cascade of guilt for not
    Preserving it There

Across the still surface of the water, shadows pick up distorted lives
across its mirrored image, only the wind dips an occasional finger
    to trace self-portraits, then Erase

Simple Magic, this moment, the world begins
where the Cattails Dance and the Butterflies swoon

The footfalls of Man still echo here . . .

the grass blades bend to wave instead of call

I turn, only to leave behind remourseful tears the
broken Earth parts to drink,

    an intruder still, even from my distance
        of
          Breathless
            Admiration
