Ode to the Great White Egret

Ode to the Egret

I am the Great White Egret
I stand firmly in the mud
Unaware of sickness and death
The flooded fields make prime real estate
Void of destruction and loss of tribe
I enjoy the warmth of the sun
Absence of noise
Less Paparazzi
I love my silence and solitude
Food shortages absent
Crayfish and Frogs Abound
I see my family when I need them
Friends drop by sharing food and drink
Social distancing an abstract concept
I relax gazing at the distant sky
Humans never cross my mind
